Fresno State hit three home runs and beat San Jose State 4-2 and 9-0 Saturday at Bulldog Diamond to complete a three-game sweep.
Kristin Sylvester ripped her ninth homer, a two-run homer in the first game. Robin Mackin pitched a six-hitter with 10 strikeouts.
In the second game, the Bulldogs put it away with a seven-run fourth inning. They sent 11 batters to the plate, with the first six getting hits. Michelle Palazuelos opened the rally with her third homer to right. Aja Scheuber capped it with her first homer, a three-run, line drive to right.
Merryann Barr threw a four-hitter in a game stopped after 4 1/2 innings because of the eight-run rule.
The Bulldogs (42-16) finished second at 15-3, one game behind 13th-ranked Hawaii, in the Western Athletic Conference.
Fresno State hosts the WAC Tournament Wednesday through Saturday. The Bulldogs open with San Jose State at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Nevada beat Hawaii for the 2006 title and the automatic bid to the NCAA playoffs.
That should make for an interesting rematch. Spartans baserunner Liz Robertson took out second baseman Jenna Cervantez on the final play of the day. Cervantez had made a relay throw to first to complete a game-ending double play. Robertson slid late and hard into Cervantez's legs, knocking her to the ground.
It was several minutes before Cervantez was helped up and left the field on her own.
