EDINBORO, Pa. (April 24) – Freshman Amarah McCutcheon and senior Kaitlyn Achtermeier both belted a pair of homers on Wednesday afternoon, as the California (PA) softball team swept a doubleheader at Edinboro in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) West action with a 9-0 run rule victory in Game 1 and a 12-11 win in Game 2.
