April 7, 2006 Seattle, WA --- The Saint Martin's women’s softball team was swept by Seattle University, 8-0 and 4-3, in a Great Northwest Athletic Conference doubleheader at Logan Field Friday afternoon. SU’s Brenda Stice and Marjalena Santos each hit two home runs in the doubleheader, accounting for all four of Seattle's runs in the second game. Stice hit her team-leading eighth home run of the season in the first inning to drive in three runs and Santos hit her sixth of the year in the sixth inning to snap a 3-3 tie after the Saints (5-27, 1-10 GNAC) had scored two runs in the second on a double by Nicole Hoerner (Fr., Kennewick, WA) and a run in the sixth on a bunt by Lisa Holombo (Fr., Bonney Lake, WA) to pull even. Holombo went 2-for-2 with a run scored and an RBI for the Saints. SU’s (20-13, 5-1 GNAC) Erin Martin pitched the final two innings, allowing two hits and an unearned run, to earn her 14th win against six losses. In the opener, Martin was dominant on the mound. After pitching the school's first perfect game against the Saints on Wednesday, she came back and allowed just one hit in the five-inning game while equaling a career-high 10 strikeouts. Seattle’s bats were also hot as they put together a nine-hit attack and scored in every inning. The Saints got their lone hit off Martin in the second inning when Holly Morris (Fr., Richland, WA) led off the inning with a single. The Saints return to action for a doubleheader against GNAC foe Central Washington on April 21 at 1 p.m. in Ellensburg.
