pitcher Brianne Ferguson's glove to score Grund from second base.
Lindsay Sheehan doubled in a run, and Colleen Spencer hit a two-run single
to push the lead to 4-0 in the fifth.

got a fly out from Veronica Ramos to end the game. The Spartans (5-9) stranded
nine runners in the game and are 0-3 in the tournament. Cal State
Northridge (10-8) improved to 2-1 in the tourney.
