Senior left fielder Danielle Linke drove a 1-0 pitch from Stephanie Bregante over the right-center field fence in the bottom of the 13th inning to give Long Beach a 3-1 NCAA regional softball victory over UNLV in a game that that threatened never to end.
So the 49ers have 30 minutes to take a couple of deep breaths and play Fresno State in another elimination game.
Brooke Turner, who threw six innings in the loss to UCLA, threw 6 2/3 innings in relief to get credit for the win.
So who throws in the next game? Probably Kelly Cross or Bridgette Pagano. And more likely both.
