Box Score: Coyotes 2, Azusa Pacific 1

AZUSA -- Alex Mitchell's two-out, two-run double into the gap in left-center field in the fifth inning scored Alene Casillas and Jamie Roland to lift Cal State San Bernardino to a 2-1 victory over Azusa Pacific and complete a nonconference doubleheader sweep of the Cougars.

The Coyotes won the first game, 4-2.

CSUSB improves to 2-2 on the season. It will play an Alumni Game on Saturday and conclude the weekend with a doubleheader at home against Notre Dame de Namur on Sunday.

Mitchell's hit was the highlight of four-hit night. She went 2-for-4 in both games, and also had a key two-out, two-run double in the fifth inning of the opener -- a shot to right-center to keep the inning alive. Jamie Leffingwell followed with a 3-run homer that was the difference in the opener. 

Coyote pitcher Cassidy Lee retired 10 of the first 11 batters she faced in the opener. However, she gave up a two-run homer to give Azusa Pacific a 2-1 lead.

The Coyotes answered with Leffingwell's home run in their next at-bat, and Lee was solid for the remainder of the game.

The Coyotes dodged trouble in the second game as Azusa Pacific pushed just one of 7 runners at third to score.
