Senior Camille Hundley came off the bench as a pinch-hitter in the bottom of the sixth inning when Nicole Llorens had to step out of the batter's box with an unprovoked nosebleed. With little time to prepare, Hundley pushed down the first offering from Stephanie Fairclough and moved the ball far enough to allow Bailey Blazek to score the game's first run with 1 out in the bottom of the sixth. It was all the Cougars would need as Azusa Pacific posted its first sweep by back-to-back shutouts since 2004.

"My nose just started to bleed while I was cheering in the dugout and (athletic trainer) April (Reed) couldn't get it to stop in time for my at-bat," said Llorens. "I stepped in the box and totally missed coach's sign to bunt because the blood just started coming again."

Azusa Pacific loaded the bases with no outs on a walk and 2 bunt singles, including one by pitcher Erin Halma, whose misplaced bunt popped in the air and fell in no-man's-land between the pitching circle and first base. After freshman Erika Marmolejo popped out, Llorens came to the plate trying to stifle her bloody nose and the giggles that came from the moment. She could do neither, forcing Cougar coach Carrie Webber's hand.

"I knew Nicole didn't see my sign to bunt and when she couldn't go I took one scan of the bench and saw Camille," said Webber. "She is a great bunter."

Until that moment, Azusa Pacific had a difficult time with Fairclough, who had struck out 8 Cougars through 5 innings of work, relying primarily on a crafty rise ball. At one point, she struck out 5 straight Cougars and 6-of-8.

"One thing I've always been able to do is get the bunt down, especially in pressure situations," said Hundley. "In travel ball I had to learn to bunt the rise ball because everyone threw it. So I made sure I got on top of this one and started my hands high, and she threw me a fatty."

Bekah Weisser's sacrifice fly capped the inning and the game's scoring by sending Halma home with an insurance run that Halma really didn't need. The junior hurler fired her best game as a Cougar, posting her third career complete-game shutout while striking out a career-high 8, including the Hawk side in the fifth inning.

In the opening game, Azusa Pacific scored 3 runs each in the first and second innings to roll out to a 6-0 lead and then ended the game with a pair of 2-out runs in the bottom of the fifth. Natalie Mickelson's 2-out double to centerfield scored Halma and Erika Navarrete to highlight the second inning.

Hundley pitched the first game and turned in her finest outing of the young season, limiting the Hawks to just 2 hits while striking out 6 in the process. She walked the bases loaded in the first inning before getting out of the jam with her first strikeout of the game.

"We've been working on hitting 4 different spots and though I thought I was hitting them, the ump wasn't giving them to me early," said Hundley. "What saved me was our defense, which was really super. Our defense not only helped me but it really got me fired up to do well."

Indeed, centerfielder Jen Whitten's over-the-shoulder snag of a laser preserved Hundley's no-hitter through 3 innings. Freshman shortstop Leslie-Anne Picone also made a dazzling stop of a ball hit up the middle.

Hundley picked up her first win against 3 decisions this season while registering the eighth shutout of her career.

At the plate, Halma was 4-for-6 in the doubleheader with 3 runs scored. Whitten went 4-for-7 with a pair of runs and a game-opening triple in the first game. Hundley was 2-for-4 with 3 RBIs.

With the sweep, Azusa Pacific improves to 5-3 while Holy Names falls to 0-2.
