SB PREVIEW: Lancers Take Win Streak To Phoenix For A Series Against GCU
3/29/2022 9:27:00 AM | Softball
RIVERSIDE - California Baptist University softball is riding a three-game win streak after sweeping New Mexico State at home last weekend, improving to 21-16 on the year and 4-2 in WAC play. The Lancers are tied for second in the West Division standings with Seattle U, just one game behind Grand Canyon, who sits in first.
Katelyn Mangrello continues to lead the offensive charge for CBU, checking in this week with a .385 batting average, 20 runs batted in, 13 extra base hits, and a three-game hitting streak, while Raegan Cheyne tops the list with 17 runs scored. Michaila Harrington is crushing it on the base paths, already with 11 stolen bases on the year for a Lancer squad that stole a total of 16 a season ago.
The CBU pitching staff continues to impress, holding a killer offensive team in New Mexico State to just eight total runs in three games. They continue to be led by the duo of Alyssa Argomaniz and Jazmine Castaneda, and collectively hold at 2.75 ERA which, if they can maintain it, would be the lowest in the Division I era.
