SAN FRANCISCO – Sonoma State's Samantha Lipperd turned in a pair of dominating complete-game pitching performances on Friday to power the Seawolves past host San Francisco State by scores of 3-0 and 5-0 in a California Collegiate Athletic Association softball doubleheader at SF State.
 
Lipperd struck out a combined 28 batters, including 17 in the nightcap, helping the SSU raise its record to 33-17 and 19-15 in conference play, while the Gators fall to 17-33 on the season and 9-24 in the CCAA.
 
SF State managed just three hits off the Seawolves' ace in game one – singles by Jenna Wermes and Sarah Catania and Ashley Huff's seventh double of the year. Gator starter Marisa Ibarra kept pace with Lipperd, posting nine strikeouts of her own during the contest.  However, the Purple and Gold was undone by the bat and legs of Ancia Purdy, who turned in 3-for-4 performance at the plate and scored all three runs.
 
SSU got on the board in the first inning when Hayley Condon's RBI single through the right side knocked in Purdy, who led off with an infield hit and promptly stole second.
 
That would be all the support Lipperd would need as the Seawolves added some insurance on Condon's nearly identical run-scoring single in the third, followed by Vanessa Currie's sacrifice fly in the fifth.
 
Ibarra (7-11), meanwhile, was saddled with hard-luck defeat after surrendering all three runs on eight hits and three walks.
 
Incredibly, Lipperd (28-10) was even more overpowering in game two, striking out the side in both the first and fifth innings, while recording three consecutive Ks after yielding a lead-off double to Kelly Mast in the seventh.
 
In the interim, SSU took advantage of a botched pick-off attempt in the top of the second, scoring two unearned runs on sacrifice flies by Skylynn Myers and Keisi Chinen to build a 2-0 lead it would not surrender.
 
Chinen also came through with an RBI single in the fourth, while Condon added a two-run double in the fifth to close out the scoring.
 
The Seawolves totaled 15 hits for the contest, including three by Ali Palermo (two runs), while Purdy, Condon, Myers and Megan Konieczka finished with two apiece.
 
SF State will look to close off the 2012 campaign on a winning note on Saturday when it plays host to Sonoma State once again in its final doubleheader of the season, starting at noon.
 
Prior to Saturday's games, the Gators will hold Senior Day festivities, honoring their own Kylie Herrada, Heather Jensen, Kelly Mast and Jenna Wermes.
