College softball: Lions sweep doubleheader

SAN BERNARDINO - Vanguard University’s Gina Liebengood pitched her

seventh shutout of the season to highlight the Lions softball team’s

doubleheader sweep at Cal State San Bernardino, Wednesday, in

nonconference action.

Liebengood, with a 1.15 ERA, allowed five hits to improve her pitching

record to 13-7.

The Lions (24-14) rallied from a three-run deficit to score a 6-5 win

in the nightcap. Vanguard’s Andrea Saucedo blasted a two-run triple to

tie the game, 5-5, in the sixth inning. Nikki Benning then delivered a

game-winning RBI single.

Vanguard pitcher Celina Camarillo relieved Cheri Smith to hold the

Coyotes scoreless and hitless over the last four innings, retiring all 13

batters she faced.

The Lions will host Biola University in Golden State Athletic

Conference play on Saturday.
