Box Score

GREELEY, Colo. - Colorado State scored six runs in the top of the fourth inning to beat the Northern Colorado softball team 6-2 on Friday, in a game that concluded early because of rain and lightning in the area.

The Bears (4-27) got on the board first when Morgan Dahlman sent a two-run homer over the left field wall, scoring Jessica Schoepflin, who had come in to pinch run for Ashley Geist.

CSU (21-14) used six hits and a pair of Northern Colorado errors to complete its six-run inning, earning its 11th straight victory over Northern Colorado.

The game was halted with two outs in the top of the sixth, and called an hour later, after the bad weather failed to let up. The second game of the doubleheader was canceled.

Katelyn Landorf (1-5) took the loss, allowing five earned runs in five innings, with four walks and four strikeouts.

Dahlman also had a first-inning double to finish 2-for-3. Mackenzie Barrett and Landorf also had hits for the Bears, who now head west for two games against Oregon State, followed by a three-game set with Portland State. Their series with the Beavers kicks off Wednesday, March 28.
