Softball player sets career home run record

Cal State Monterey Bay senior Shae Olds broke the California Collegiate Athletic Association career home run record on April 11, raising her total to 42.

The career mark goes along with the CCAA single-season record of 15 she set in 2009.

Olds set the career mark in a game at Humboldt State that was shortened to five innings due to darkness with the Lumberjacks ahead 12-8. The Otters dropped the first game of the doubleheader, 11-8.

The teams were scheduled to meet again on April 12. The Otters took a 20-24 overall record into the doubleheader.

Olds holds CSUMB records in five categories: 42 home runs, .601 slugging percentage, 187 hits, 143 runs batted in and 79 walks.

A two-time All-Conference selection, she has led the Otters to three West Regional appearances, a CCAA regular-season championship and a CCAA tournament championship.

CSUMB plays its final home games of the season on April 14, against Bethany University of Santa Cruz in a non-conference doubleheader. Play will start at 1 p.m.
