No. 4 Softball opens PacWest play with sweep of No. 16 Concordia-Irvine

Trailblazers push program-record start to 15-0

The No. 4 Dixie State softball team opened Pacific West Conference play on Saturday with a doubleheader sweep, 1-0 and 9-6, of No. 16 Concordia-Irvine at Karl Brooks Field.

The Trailblazers (15-0, 2-0 PacWest) scored the lone run of a pitcher's duel in the sixth inning of game one, and used big innings in the third and fifth inning in game two to secure the sweep. With the wins, DSU extended its season-opening undefeated streak to 15 games.

GAME ONE

Dixie State and Concordia-Irvine took turns leaving runners on base through the first five and a half innings as Cambrie Hazel (Spanish Fork, Utah/Spanish Fork HS) and CUI pitcher Callie Nunes combined for 16 strikeouts through the same stretch.

The Trailblazers broke the scoreless tie in the bottom of the sixth inning. Kori Gahn (Phoenix, Ariz./Pinnacle HS) led off the frame with a single through the left side. Taylor Godfrey (Buckeye, Ariz./Estrella Foothills HS) then entered the game as a pinch runner for Gahn. Godfrey moved to second on a Jessica Gonzalez (Kingsburg, Calif./Kingsburg HS) sacrifice-bunt, then scored when Dani Bartholf (Gilbert, Ariz./Gilbert HS) singled up the middle to give DSU a 1-0 lead.

The Eagles placed runners on first and second base in the top of the seventh, but Hazel forced the final CUI batter to foul out to Gonzalez to end the game.

Hazel (7-0) earned the win in the pitcher's circle for her second complete-game victory of the season. Hazel recorded six strikeouts and allowed just four hits. Kenzie Sawyer (Cedar City, Utah/Canyon View) logged the only multi-hit performance for DSU, while Bartholf's RBI-single marked the only RBI of the game.

GAME TWO

The Trailblazers built a 5-0 lead in game two, scoring one run in the first, three runs in the third, and one run in the fourth. Bailey Gaffin (Glendale, Ariz./Mountain Ridge HS) plated the run in the first with an RBI-double, while Riley Tyteca (Farmington, Utah/Viewmont HS) belted a 3-RBI double to center field in the third. Janessa Bassett (Stansbury Park, Utah/Stansbury HS) singled through the right side to score Bartholf in the fourth to complete the five-run advantage.

Conordia-Irvine countered in the top of the fifth, scoring four runs with two separate 2 RBI-doubles to cut the lead to 5-4.

Dixie State answered with four runs of its own in the bottom of the fifth, scoring four runs on three hits to build the lead to 9-4. Bartholf singled to center field for the first run, while Sawyer scored on a wild pitch, and Brenna Hinck (Tremonton, Utah/Bear River HS) drove a 2-RBI single up the middle.

The Eagles pulled two runs back in the top of the seventh with a two-out, two-run home run to cut the lead to 9-6, but Hazel, who entered in the sixth inning, forced the next batter to ground out to Gaffin at shortstop to end the game.

Alexis Barkwell (San Diego, Calif./North Medford HS) (3-0) earned the win in the pitcher's circle, recording one strikeout with four hits in 4.1 innings pitched. Bassett led the charge at the plate with three hits and an RBI, while Hinck finished with two hits and 2 RBI.

Dixie State will host Notre Dame de Namur in a three-game series next Saturday and Sunday at Karl Brooks Field.
