CSM Softball: Mercy-Rule Win Sends Bulldogs to Super Regionals
Selina Rodriguez from El Camino High School got two hits.
Needing just one more win to advance to the super regionals, College of San Mateo left nothing to chance Sunday in an 8-0 mercy-ruled victory over visiting American River in Game 2 of the best-of-three first-round state playoff series.
CSM (38-4) will host the three-day four-team super regional tournament that opens Friday. The Bulldogs, a No. 2 seed in Northern California, will open the tournament at about 2 p.m. on Friday.
Mikayla Conlin’s two-run homer in the top of the first highlighted a three-run inning that set the tone for CSM. Conlin was 2 for 3 with three RBI.
