FREMONT, California - A well-rounded effort guided the San Francisco State softball team to a doubleheader sweep on Friday against Cal State San Marcos, with game one resulting in a 4-0 shutout and game two ending 8-1.
GAME ONE

Fellow freshman Nina Revoir also widened her reached-base streak to 17.
- Michelle Castro went 2-for-5 with three runs scored a pair batted in while extending her hit streak to 11 straight.

- The pair of wins is the third doubleheader sweep this campaign.
Â
- A RBI single off the bat of Revoir to score Vallejos put the Gators up 1-0 in the first.Â
- In the third, Castro reached on a hit-by-pitch and went to second on a fielder's choice by Revoir. After stealing third, Tianna Jacques knocked her first collegiate triple to left-center to plate Castro and pinch-runner Marilena Torres for the 3-0 lead.
- Castro once again added to the scoreboard as she singled to third, stole second and third, and came around on a throwing error by the catcher.
