AUGUSTA, Ga.–The College of Saint Rose pounded out 16 hits to run its win streak to four games with today's 10-2 triumph at Paine College.

"This was another great team win. We pitched very well, swung the bats and played good defense. We have a lot of tough games this week and so it's nice to have gotten off to a great start," said head coach
Wayne Jones.
