Northern Colorado stranded four runners on base in the final two innings, dropping the first game of the series, 6-1.
The Bears did everything in the second game to keep things close coming within one run of the home team in the top of the fourth.
Jenna Jordan looked to spark the Bears, scoring Sarah Fitzherbert on a sacrifice fly.
Sacramento State kept the pressure on, plating one run in the fourth, two in the fifth and one in the sixth holding UNC scoreless and increasing their lead 5-1.
