HAYWARD – The CSUSB Coyotes opened CCAA action with a sweep at Cal State East Bay, 6-2 and 4-2, on Friday afternoon.
 
In game one the Yotes scored six runs on nine hits, opening with two runs in the first on a triple from Haley Finn and single from Kaylee Williamson.  Samantha Vacko and Madison Veldman both doubled to add three more and Williamson drove in another in the fifth.  Williamson led with three hits and Jamiana Gateb had two hits, including a double and stolen base.  Vacko also had two knocks.  Kendra O'Cull scattered six hits to earn the win.
 
In game two, the Yotes fell down 2-0, but scored two in the fourth and two in the sixth to earn the sweep.  Vacko doubled to plate one in the fourth and Veldman singled up the middle in the sixth to make it 4-2.  Vacko led the way with two hits and Gateb also doubled.  Taylor De'Tinne started for CSUSB allowing six hits and O'Cull finished allowing one hit over the final two and two-thirds.

"Today was a great start to the opening of conference games," head coach Dee Payan said. "Our offensive game is putting us on the board early and often. Our entire lineup is producing and putting us in a great position to win games. Sam Vacko and Madison Veldman both had a great day at the plate. Kendra and Taylor held their composure in the circle and kept us in the game long enough for us to win. This were team wins and we're looking to carry on this momentum to tomorrow's double header."
 
CSUSB (4-3, 2-0 CCAA) will play CSUEB twice more tomorrow starting at 11 am.  Live links are on CSUSBathletics.com.
