Corinne Ozanne blasted a home run in Syracuse's 6-0 win in the front end of Friday's doubleheader. SU split two games on the day.

Syracuse split its games at the Stacy Winsberg Memorial Tournament in Northridge, California, taking game one against California State University Bakersfield, 6-0, and dropping the second to CSU Northridge, 5-2.

Jocelyn Cater got the start for the Orange and threw a complete game, surrendering no runs on just three hits and four strikeouts.

The Orange was led offensively by three home runs, each from a different player. Andrea Bombace, Sydney O’Hara, and Corinne Ozanne all went deep for the Orange in the seven-inning shutout.

Lyndsay Klimenko took the loss for the Roadrunners, her fourth of the season.

In the second game of the night, AnnaMarie Gatti got the nod for Syracuse. After a shaky start which saw her give up three runs in the bottom of the first, she was replaced by O’Hara. The junior lasted until the bottom of the fifth, before Gatti took over for the final stretch.



Sammy Fernandez led the Orange bats with one run and one RBI. After junior Alyssa Dewes singled to start the third, Fernandez smashed a triple down the right field line, scoring Dewes. She scored on a wild pitch during the next at bat.

Taylor Troost got the start for CSUN, giving up two runs in the first two innings. Daphne Pofek came into the game in relief and tossed five innings, giving up no runs and earning the win for the Matadors.

The Orange continues play Saturday, taking on UC Davis at 1:30 p.m. and capping the night off against No. 13 UCLA at 6:30 p.m.
