Biola returned home Wednesday afternoon to play their second doubleheader against Concordia University Irvine. The women are on a five-game winning streak, with three wins against Azusa Pacific University as of last Friday. The Eagles won 6-1 in game one and 6-4 in game two.

The first four innings in game one were silent with neither team scoring a run. At the bottom of the fifth inning Biola made six runs. Junior Ruth Munoz hit sending in junior Kylie Velasco in to score. Sophomore Jennifer Morinishi hit a double to right center, sending in Munoz and freshman Allie Beck to home base to score. Senior Kayla Neff hit a home run, scoring and getting two more points from freshman Alexis Lara and Morinishi. The Eagles ultimately won and left no chance for CUI to catch up, winning 6-1.

GAME TWO GAMBLE

The Eagles started off the second game by making the first point, but CUI pulled ahead making three runs in the second inning. The Eagles did not tie the score until the fourth inning when  freshman Abie Nowak hit sending her twin freshman Brie Nowak to second and Lara in to score. In the sixth inning, Velasco hit a triple sending the Nowak twins to home to score. The Eagles made one more run and won game two, 6-4.

Natalie Hernandez, Sports Editor
Natalie Hernandez is a junior journalism major who loves cooking with her boyfriend, enjoys photo adventures, and new experiences. [email protected] I was born and raised in California, but I have always moved around. Although I have always lived here I have never missed the opportunity to get out of LA. My father is an immigrant and my mother is first-generation Mexican. I am the first in my family to attend college and I am proud of that. School does not come easy to me and I am glad I have pushed myself. I went to college in Seattle, WA but moved back due to my mother getting sick. When I got back to LA, I hit the ground running. I enrolled in community college and started working. I didn't really know what I wanted to do. I took one photography class and I knew this is what I want to do. My love for journalism, photography, and sports started on the sidelines of my high school football field. Every single game junior-senior year you could find me on the sidelines taking photos or getting a quote from a coach. I have never been athletic but I enjoy watching and learning about all different sports. I love telling stories. This is just my first year at Biola as a transfer student and first semester at The Chimes but I can’t wait to see what the future holds.
