-- Cierrah Mullins' walk-off home run in the first game set the tone for the day as the CSU, Stanislaus, softball team swept Saturday's doubleheader with Chico State to earn a series split.

Mullins' fourth homer of the season gave the Warriors a 2-1 win in the opener. In the nightcap, Stanislaus used a six-run fifth inning to cruise to a 10-5 victory that improved the Warriors 11-13 overall on the season and 6-10 in the California Collegiate Athletic Association. Chico State dropped to 11-10 and 9-7 in CCAA play.

Ace Brittani Weatherford went the distance in the opener for the Warriors, allowing an unearned run on seven hits for the win.

Tennis

• SONOMA STATE 6, CSUS 3 — McKenzy Harden highlighted the Warriors' effort with a 3-6, 6-4, 10-6 singles victory against Chloe Jolliff. That came after Harden teamed with Davina Meza to beat Jolliff and Sara Celma 8-6 in doubles. Kelsey Chrisco earned the third point for Stanislaus with a 6-4, 6-2 win over Megan White 6-4, 6-2.

Baseball

• CSLA SWEEPS CSUS — The Warriors will try to avoid a series sweep today after losing to the Golden Eagles 6-2 and 7-4. Stanislaus second baseman Justin Charles went 4 for 4 in Game 2 and was part of a three-run rally in the sixth to cut Cal State L.A.'s lead to 7-4. Ross Gonsalves and Tynan Pedretti had two hits in each game for the Warriors (5-17, 2-13 CCAA).

• SRC 6, MJC 3 — Santa Rosa kept the Pirates out of the win column in a Big 8 Conference game. Modesto JC (7-7, 0-3 Big 8) got two hits from Dan Carney. The Bear Cubs' (12-1, 3-0 Big 8) Robbie Devries held the Pirates to three hits in six innings.

Track and field

• CSUS WOMEN, at Arcata — Stanislaus' Tessa Gonzales won the long jump at Humboldt State, tying with the Lumberjacks' Brittainy Chown at 17 feet, 7 inches — a career best mark for Gonzales. Stanislaus teammate Andrea Severson and Jessica Counts tied for the high jump win at 5-2. Severson also won the 100-meter hurdles (15.45 seconds) and was third in the long jump (16-10), fourth in the shot put (29 ½) and third in the javelin (81-2).

Adriana Blanco won the 400 in 60.35. Denali Foldager and Rachel Naranjo finished 1-2 in the 3,000. Foldager's 10:29.31 was a season best. While the indoor distance medley team was returning from its second-place finish at the national championships, the Stanislaus B team of Ufuoma Egbikuadje, Aimee Sawyer, Foldager and Lizzie Grolle won at 12:32.07.

At Davis, Channing Wilson threw a personal best of 154-11 in the hammer to finish sixth at the Aggie Open. She also finished second in the javelin (130-7). Teammate Noel Wright was fourth in the discus (131-1).

• CSUS MEN — The Warriors also split up to win at two meets. At the Aggie Open in Davis, Josh Uikilifi posted an NCAA provisional mark in the hammer with a fifth-place mark of 183-2. Uikilifi was second in the shot put (53-8 ¼) and fifth in the discus (153-1).

In Arcata, Allen Castenada won the 800 in 2:01.29. The distance medley relay team (Dean Alley, Jordan Elzie, Terrance Ellis, Tyler Thiele) finished second in 10:19.77, just behind host Humboldt's 10:16.98.

• MJC WOMEN — At Friday's home Jack Albiani Invitational, Victoria Dickerson was a double winner, topping the hammer (151) and shot put (35-6) performances and finishing third in the discus at 123-6. Katy Cederlind was third in the hammer at 148-9. Kaylee Sedler won the 1,500 in 5:10.17. The Pirates' state javelin leader Kiana Weinzheimer won at 132-3. Modesto's 4x400 relay team (Morgan McFaddin, Sarah Mayfield, Alyssa McFaddin, Oliva Muse-Amiel) won in 4:06.97.

• MJC MEN — Also at the Jack Albiani Invitational, the Pirates had two state-leading field marks. Markus Sanders won the discus at 163-10 and Tyler Lamott won the hammer at 186. Stephen Thayer won the 200 in 22.17, which ranks him second in the Big 8 Conference and fourth in Northern California. The 4x400 relay team (DeShawn Craig, Eric Adorna, Akim Muhammed, Strat Stravionadoukas) won in 3:19.55.
