Colorado State kept momentum from Thursday's games into Friday, started the day with a 9-1 victory over Stony Brook in five frames. The Rams wasted no time getting on the board as they scored three runs in the opening inning on just one hit and three fielding errors.
Stony Brook got on the board in the following inning after a two-out double scored a runner who walked at the previous at bat.
CSU increased its lead to four in the bottom of the third after Danni Klein blasted a two-run homer down the left-field line. Colorado State looked to make it a quick game, adding to its lead in the fourth with four runs on three hits. The Rams loaded the bases with two outs and drew a four-pitch walk to score an easy run. Haley Donaldson followed the easy RBI with a double down the right-field line to clear the bases and give the Rams a 9-1 lead.
In the final inning, CSU allowed a walk with one out before forcing the Seawolves to fly out the last two at bats.

Lauren Buchanan followed Donaldson with her third homer of the season – a two run shot – to take a 3-1 lead. The Rams increased their lead later in the frame after Corina Gamboa double to center field to score a pair of runs and put the score at 5-1.

QUOTES
Head Coach Jen Fisher on the week…
"Stony Brook is at a high level in its conference and they looked really strong. I thought it was a really good win for Jessica (Jarecki). Obviously we hit the ball really well against them and Danni (Klein's) home run; that was the dagger for them. It is always great to have a team like Nebraska in the tournament – a perennial NCAA Tournament contender. We typically play them in the fall, but it was great to get a W over a quality team and a Hall of Fame coach. They are young this season in a lot of ways, but I was proud of the way we took advantage and got a win.
Fisher on Bridgette Hutton's no-hitter on Thursday…
"She is so tough to square up and she does such a nice job. She has so many of these games where she gives up just four or five hits, but she has never had a no hitter. That is so hard to do and I am so proud of her. We had great defense and I know Jordan (Acosta) had a great catch in right that was played perfectly. Bridgette is the most humble kid you'll ever meet and it was so exciting to see her get a no-hitter."
STAT OF THE DAY
Colorado State added to its run total for the weekend with 21 runs scored on Friday, putting the weekend total at 37 and for the season outscoring opponents 95-33.
UP NEXT
The Rams will look to play a pair of games tomorrow against Stony Brook at 10 a.m., MT and 1:30 p.m., MT. Due to forecasted weather, following @CSUSoftball on Twitter and csurams.com for updates.
