SAN BERNARDINO (April 8, 2017) —
Jessica Brown homered in each game, but it was her grand slam in the second that gave the Coyotes' their ninth straight win.
CSUSB swept Cal State Dominguez Hills 9-1 and 9-8 and improved to 27-15 overall and 17-11 in the CCAA. The Coyotes look to build a case for postseason play when it takes on Stanislaus State this week, beginning Friday in Turlock.
Game 1: Coyotes 9, CSUDH 1 6 innings
Brown went 2 for 3 with three RBI including a seventh-inning home run as the Coyotes took control from the outset.
CSUSB scored two runs in the first on two hits, thanks to a leadoff double from
Morgan Ratliff and a run-scoring single by
Monica Maddox.
In the second, Brown connected on a two-run double and Maddox also had an RBI.
In the seventh, Brown scorced a leadoff homer over the center-field wall.
Kaylee Gemmell followed with a double and
