LONG BEACH, CA -- A Breezy Goad RBI single in the bottom of the seventh inning gave LBSU a 1-0 win in game one over Utah Valley State, before a Jessica Beaver three-run home run the bottom of the seventh inning lifted the 49ers to a 5-3 win over the Wolverines in game two on Sunday afternoon at the 49er Softball Complex.

The wins helped Long Beach State improve to 14-12 on the season. UVSU fell to 6-17 overall.

The 49ers started their rally in the seventh inning in the first game, when Melanie McCauley drew a two-out walk. Stefanie Trutanic then was placed at first base as the pinch runner. After a Franciska Morlet single advanced Trutanic to second base, Goad followed with the single to score Trutanic.

Michelle Turner (10-5) collected the victory in the circle, after allowing just three hits to go along with six strikeouts (no walks). It was her fifth shutout of the season. Moreover, Turner has walked just two batters in her
last five starts.

Long Beach State held a 1-0 lead, before Utah Valley State scored two runs in the top of the third inning to take a 2-1 lead in game two.

The 49ers evened the score at 2-2 in the bottom of the sixth inning when Lacy Tyler scored after McCauley grounded out to the short stop.

Utah Valley State responded in the top of the seventh when Chris Jiminez's triple plated Sara Roskelley to give the Wolverines a 3-2 lead.

Long Beach State once again used its late game heroics in the bottom of the seventh inning. After Goad led off with a walk, and Tiffanie Wedell reached on an error by the first baseman, Beaver slammed a three-run home run over the left field wall to lift LBSU to the 5-3 win.

Turner collected the win after she replaced Jennifer Martinez, who left the game when the 49ers trailed 3-2. It was Turner¹s 11th win of the season. Beaver finished game two, 2-for-3 with three RBI and two runs scored.

LBSU takes on Ohio State for a double-header on Friday, Mar. 24 at 1 pm from
the 49er Complex.
