RIVERSIDE, Calif. — Devyn Cretz tossed a three-hit shutout in game two of a Friday doubleheader as Utah Valley University swept California Baptist, 2-0 and 9-0, on Friday afternoon. Cretz and Katie Zuniga also combined to shut out the Lancers in the first game. Cretz got the win in both ends of the twin bill and pitched 10.2 scoreless innings on the day.
 
The Wolverines (14-16, 2-3) also hit four home runs in the second game, including three-run home runs from Rien Milliken — who was 3-for-4 — and Jaeden Barajas. Linnah Rebolledo homered for the second straight game, getting UVU on the board with a two-run blast in the third. Siena Sandoval hit her fifth of the season in the sixth, Barajas' long ball followed later that inning, and Milliken made it 9-0 with her homer in the seventh. All nine runs in the game came courtesy of the home run.
 
Cretz pitched the final 3.2 innings in relief in game one, before registering her third complete-game shutout in the night cap. She has now gone the distance in each of her last nine starts in the circle. Cretz has also been the winning pitcher in each of the last three games.
 
The Lancers (12-21-1, 2-3) had all three of their hits in the first two innings. Cretz retired 17 of the final 18 batters she faced, allowing only a leadoff walk in the sixth.
 
In game one, Rebolledo hit a first-inning home run with two outs and the Wolverines got an insurance run in the fifth when Milliken drove home Emery Nielson with a groundout to second.
 
Zuniga started and pitched the first 3.1 innings. She retired the first nine hitters she faced before running into some trouble in the fourth. The Lancers had two runners on with one out in the fourth, when Stacy May-Johnson went to Cretz. An error loaded the bases, but Cretz got the next hitter to pop out before a flyout to right ended the threat.
 
With the five home runs during the doubleheader, Utah Valley has now hit 28 as a team. The Wolverines will attempt a series sweep on Saturday with first pitch slated for noon PT/1 p.m. MT.
