Shonna Christianson had an outstanding week both on the mound and at the plate in a pair of series against No. 19 Claremont-Mudd-Scripps and Occidental, propelling the Regals to a 3-1 showing. The sophomore helped CLU snap a 16-game losing streak against the Athenas with a complete game shut-out in which she struck out three. The upset also marked the first time CLU has defeated a ranked opponent in more than two years. Christianson kept things rolling on Saturday, notching her second consecutive complete game shutout as CLU defeated Occidental 9-0 in five innings. The Rohnert Park, Calif. native had a nearly identical outing, striking out three. Christianson pushed her consecutive scoreless inning streak to 14.0. At the plate, she has created a four-game hit-streak after going 5-for-11 (.455 average) with a double, three runs and an RBI, adding two walks. The Regals have won eight of their last nine games.
