HAYWARD — The Porterville College softball team swept a doubleheader at Chabot College on Saturday, winning 9-5 and 15-5 to combine for 26 hits and 24 runs across the afternoon.

Game 1: Porterville 9, Chabot 5
Chabot scored twice in the first and twice more in the third to take a 4-1 lead, but Porterville answered with a five-run fourth that proved decisive. Crisslyn Rodriguez and Avery Hupp delivered back-to-back RBI singles, Romero's groundout tied the game, and Wylie's two-run homer put the Pirates ahead for good. Two more runs in the fifth extended the lead to 8-4 before a seventh-inning run closed out the final.
Alexandrea Andrighetto went the distance, striking out eight over seven innings to earn the win.
Game 2: Porterville 15, Chabot 5
Porterville sent nine batters to the plate in the top of the first and scored six runs before the Gladiators recorded their first out on offense. Wylie opened with a double, Maddiysn Montecinos and Elli John followed with RBI singles, and the Pirates kept rolling until they led 6-0.
Chabot answered with four runs over the first two innings to cut the deficit to 6-4, but Porterville responded with six more in the fourth, aided by a string of Chabot passed balls and fielding errors. Martinez's three-run homer in the seventh set the final at 15-5.
Montecinos went 3-for-5 with two RBI and three stolen bases in the nightcap. Rodriguez added three hits. Porterville did not strike out once in Game 2 while drawing eight walks.
Elli John started and threw four innings before giving way to Andrighetto, who retired all nine batters she faced over the final three innings.
The Pirates snapped a 13-game losing streak and imptoved their overall record to 3-13 on the season. PC is back in action on Tuesday (Mar. 10) when the Pirates travel to Fresno City College for a Central Valley Conference doubleheader.
