Share via

COSTA MESA - The Vanguard University softball team racked up its

third and fourth victories over a span of two afternoons Saturday as the

Lions followed up Friday’s sweep of Hope International with a sweep of

visiting The Master’s College in Golden State Athletic Conference play.

Gina Liebengood tossed a four-hitter in the opener en route to a 3-0

victory, then Marcikea Ball limited The Master’s to three hits over five

innings in a 9-1 nightcap win.

Liebengood struck out nine to up her record to 10-4.

Rachelle Rolle got the big hit when she delivered a two-run double in

the fourth inning to snap a scoreless game.

In the five-inning nightcap, the Lions used four hits and two walks to

rack up a five-run second inning. Lisa Jackson’s bases-loaded triple was

the highlight.

The Lions are now 21-8-1, 6-2 in the GSAC. The Master’s fell to

16-11-1, 2-4.

Vanguard plays a pair of doubleheaders at the University of

Hawaii-Hilo Tuesday and Wednesday and has a doubleheader with Chaminade

Saturday to wrap up the Lions’ nonconference venture in the islands.
