Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 ARCATA – ­One record is tied. Another one is untied. And you can make it 15 in a row for the HSU softball team.
 
Four home runs, one by senior Chrissy Stalf, powered the Jacks to a doubleheader sweep over Cal State Dominguez Hills (6-3, 2-1) in California Collegiate Athletic Association action on Thursday.
 
The four home runs give HSU 64 on the season, tying the CCAA record set by Humboldt (2012) and Cal State San Bernardino (2008).
 
Stalf's homer, number 43 in her career, breaks a tie she had with CSU San Bernardino's Britney Butler who is a senior for the Coyotes. Deuces were wild when Stalf came to the plate in the bottom of the fifth in the opener. There were two runners on with two outs, and she slugged a 2-2 pitch over the fence in left center.
 
“It feels great to beat them after four years now that our hitting and our pitching are together,” Stalf said. The homer? “I knew they were going outside, so I just stepped in and drove it. “
 
“We beat a good team,” said HSU head coach Frank Cheek.  “Any time you come back and win, it's better than if were ahead and stayed there. We just have too many long ball hitters. One run is one swing of the bat, and we showed that three times.”
 
Junior Tonya Walker and sophomore Dani Randall also hit home runs in the first game.
 
“Coach Cheek  came up and talked to me, and told me they'd been throwing me all outside. And to just step into it,” Randall said. “And I did that.”
 
The nightcap was a pitcher's dual with Humboldt's Lizzie Perez (13-4) getting the win on a five-hitter. HSU (18-4 in CCAA, 26-9 overall) maintains its position in first place, while the Toros (10-12 in league and 18-14 overall) are in sixth. Katie Obbema (10-1) got the win in the first game.
 
Senior Courtney Hiatt broke up a scoreless tie in the bottom of the fourth with a solo home run, her 10th on the season. After the Toros tied it in the top of the sixth, the Jacks got back-to-back-to-back singles by Hiatt, sophomore Hannah Williams and Randall for the go-ahead run.
 
“We were hungry to beat them,” Hiatt said. “We hadn't beat them since 2010. I'd been getting pitched outside all day. I was a little too eager on the outside pitches. They brought one pitch inside, and that's my pitch. So I capitalized on that.”
 
Humboldt held Adriana Sanchez, the leading hitter for the Toros, to one hit in seven at bats. The one hit was an RBI double in the fifth inning of the opener when Obbema was trying to give her an intentional walk. Sanchez is second to Stalf in the CCAA for home runs on the season with 13.
 
The two teams play a doubleheader on Friday at the HSU Softball Field with the first game at 1 p.m.
