Pancino lasted just 3 batters in our second game. 

We beat Wagner again 8-0 in the first game

I lost Live stats early in the 2nd game

It was an absolutely bizzare game Bob. First, the game was too close for comfort until the bottom of fifth. After Kiana exited without recording an out, Nikki Bauer was pretty solid in relief, providing 4.0 innings of work and allowing only 4 hits and 2 earned runs. Then Nikki found herself in a jam in the fifth, and Maddy was able to strand the bases loaded in a 4-3 game to keep us out in front. Then, we broke the game open in the bottom of the fifth, aided by a bang-bang play at first base that Hannah Howell was ruled to have beaten the throw. Very next pitch after this controversial play, the CSU Bakersfield pitcher comes way in and high on Whitney Burks (at her shoulder), hitting her. This was the pitcher's fourth HBP in 2 1/3 innings. HC for Bakersfield deservedly got tossed for the intentional bean-bagging. CSU Bakersfield hit 6 batters in the game, and Montana was also shaken up a bit by a HBP in the first, though she stayed in the game.

Thankfully, we won 8-3, and no one was seriously hurt, but worried about facing a now 1-15 Bakersfield team tomorrow that clearly feels it has nothing to play for.
