Unprecedented Back-to-Back GS HRs’s by CSM’s Ubois-Weitenhagen

SAN MATEO – Amanda Ubois-Weitenhagen has hit back-to-back grand slam home runs for College of San Mateo’s softball team, a fete seldom accomplished at any level of the sport. Longtime CSM coach (and former player) Nicole Borg could not recall ever seeing that accomplished.

Weitenhagen had smacked a slam in a first place Coast Conference battle between the state’s two winningest teams at Foothill College on Thursday in her last at bat to give the Bulldogs an 8-0 lead after five innings. That ended the game with the 8-run mercy margin.

When the freshman rightfielder came to bat in the first inning against College of the Siskiyous on Saturday the bases were loaded with two outs. Working to a full count, Weitenhagen shot the ball over the center field fence past the 200 foot mark to provide the only runs the Bulldogs really needed. They won 10-0.<

She wasn’t done however, singling in a run in the second inning and then hitting a solo homer in the fourth. Weitenhagen went a “perfect” 3-for-3 on the day with an amazing seven RBIs – 11 in the two games in which she scored four times (3 times on round trippers).

Pitchers Emily McAdams (9-1) and Kaitlyn Grech each threw a pair of no-hit innings against Siskiyous (3-11).  Closer Brittany Prock gave up the lone Eagles hit before ending it in the fifth.

Jamie Madigan also had a pair of hits, including a triple, and two RBIs. Riley Donovan had a double and scored twice.

San Mateo (18-2) outscored its first six March opponents by a 66-0 count — all in 5-inning mercy fashion.
