SAN FRANCISCO (February 17, 2018) – CSUSB bounced back from Friday's opening-series loss with three straight wins Saturday over San Francisco State in CCAA softball.
 
The Coyotes, now 8-5 overall and 3-5 CCAA, are at Cal State Dominguez Hills this coming weekend, beginning Friday afternoon in Carson.
 
Game 1: Coyotes 12, SF State 11
In a game that was delayed due to darkness Friday, CSUSB's Jessica Brown ripped a solo home run in the 11^th and that paid off in the victory.

Taylor Ancona had four hits, while Samantha Vacko, Brooke Thomas and Monica Maddox all had two hits.
 
On the mound, Bailey Powell earned the win in five innings of relief.

Kenda O'Cull went the full seven innings and improved to 3-2 with a four-hitter.
 
Game 3 Coyotes 4, SF State 3
Dominique Walker's run-scoring double tied the game at 3-3 in the seventh, and three batters later, Vacko earned the game-winning RBI on a sac fly to center. Ancona had another two-hit game as did Quintana.
 
Amanda Ramirez improved to 4-2 with a six-hitter. She had one strikeout and one walk.
