SACRAMENTO -- Marissa Bertuccio threw a four-hit shutout, and Sacramento State scored in three different innings on the way to a 4-0 win over Portland State on Saturday afternoon at Shea Stadium.

With the victory, the Hornets (20-15, 4-2) took two of three games in the series over Portland State (19-13, 3-3). The Vikings are the defending Big Sky Conference Tournament champions.

It was Bertuccio that threw a six-hit shutout over Portland State yesterday. In two games against the Vikings, the right-hander went 2-0 with two shutouts and allowed just 10 hits (eight singles) in 14 innings. She walked three batters with 13 strikeouts and limited Portland State to a .196 batting average. At one point in today's contest, Bertuccio retired 14 consecutive batters, and each of the four hits PSU compiled were singles.

Bertuccio, a junior from Merced, Calif., has been brilliant all season. She is now 14-4 with a 2.07 ERA, 13 complete games, six shutouts and opponents are hitting just .233 when she is in the circle. Bertuccio has accounted for victories in 14 of the Hornets' 20 wins this year, not to mention one save.

The Hornets scored twice in the first inning on an RBI-single from Lexie Webb, and RBI-double from Carley Morfey. Sacramento State tacked on another in the fourth (RBI-double from Rylee Gresham), and an insurance run in the sixth (RBI-groundout from Caroline Evans). That was more than enough run support for Bertuccio, who did not allow a runner past second base all afternoon.

Olivia Grey (12-4), one of the top pitchers in the Big Sky, allowed six hits and four runs with three walks and five strikeouts over five innings. Six different Hornets had hits, including Webb, Morfey, Gresham, Alondra Mejia, Nevaeh Pinon and Nikki Barboza.

Sacramento State, which has five more wins than all of last season, returns to action on Wednesday when the Hornets play a doubleheader at Nevada at 1:30 p.m.
