Madison McNamee threw a perfect game in the opener and Rebecca Pullen tossed a one-hit shutout in the second game on Tuesday as SBCC swept a WSC Gold softball doubleheader at Oxnard. The scores were 13-0 and 12-0 and both games ended after five innings due to the eight-run rule.

The Vaqueros (23-7, 7-2) have won three straight and 11 of the last 12. They're one game behind Moorpark (6-1) in the loss column. Oxnard fell to 4-15 and 1-6.
Santa Barbara leads the state in runs with 248 in 30 games (8.3 average). The 23 wins rank fourth on the Vaqueros' all-time chart and they can move into second with four more victories. The 2011 team holds the record for most wins at 31-7.
The Vaqueros broke open a 3-0 second game with seven runs in the fourth. Hope Ballard had a two-run triple. Townes went 2-3 at the plate and scored three more runs. Pullen (10-4) struck out four and walked three. Oxnard committed 11 errors, leading to eight unearned runs.
SBCC has a bye on Thursday, then opens a five-game homestand on Tuesday with a first-place showdown against Moorpark at 1 and 3 p.m.
