Ball against Beach
Staff reports
Cindy Ball pitched
a six-hitter and Boni Kading hit a two-run double to lead
Pacific to a 2-1 Big West Conference softball victory over
Long Beach State Sunday at the 49er Softball Complex.
The 49ers threatened in each of the first three innings against
Ball (24-9), finally pushing across a run in the third when
Christina Zepeda scored on a Arleigh Thorp single to give
The Beach a 1-0 lead.
Pacific came right back, taking the lead for good when Kading
drove home Ball and Barbara Moody with a double.
Ball (24-9) took over from there, allowing only two Beach
baserunners the rest of contest. Ball finished with seven
strikeouts.
Lindsey Knoff (14-14) started for LBSU, going three innings
and taking the loss. Meredith Cervenka went the final four
innings for the 49ers.
Long Beach State falls to 35-20 overall and 13-8 in the Big
West. Thorp and Jessica Smith led The Beach with two hits
each.
Conference-leading Pacific improves to 39-13 and 19-2 in the
Big West.
Sunday's game marked the last home game for seniors Smith,
Zepeda, Nicole Spencer and Natalie Walker.
The 49ers travel to Cal State Northridge for a three-game
Big West series beginning Saturday.
