SAN JOSE, Calif. >> The Hawaii softball team split a conference doubleheader with San Jose State yesterday, dropping the first game 2-1 before rallying for a 9-2 win.

Shortstop Kate Judd hit a two-run homer in the third inning of the second game and was 4-for-5 over both games for UH (26-17, 7-1 Western Athletic Conference). Stacey Porter was just as effective hitting behind her, going 6-for-7.

Melissa Coogan (9-6) got the win in the second game, working all seven innings and giving up one earned run on five hits against the Spartans (14-30, 2-6).

Sheri Oronoz (15-8) took the loss in the opener despite allowing only five Spartans to reach base.

Sea Warriors swept: At Silver City, N.M., Hawaii Pacific was swept by Western New Mexico 5-1 and 18-6.

The 18-run barrage in the second game was the most ever given up by the Sea Warriors.
