Matadors Drop a Pair at San Diego Tournament
3/12/2022 5:18:00 PM | Softball
SAN DIEGO—CSUN dropped a pair of games on day two of the University of San Diego Tournament Saturday afternoon at the USD Softball Complex.
GAME 1
Weber State defeated CSUN 8-1 to begin the day.
The Matadors took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first when Alexis Lemus scored on a Sami Garcia grounder. Weber State took advantage of two CSUN errors and a passed ball in the bottom of the first to score two unearned runs and take a 2-1 lead.
McKeil McHuston's three-run home run in the bottom of the second pushed the Wildcats into a four-run lead. Thanks to two additional CSUN errors, Weber State scored three unearned runs in the bottom of the fourth to further extend the lead.
Lemus posted two of the six Matadors' hits. McHuston had two hits (of the Wildcats' six) and four RBI for Weber State.
GAME 2
CSUN fell 8-2 to San Diego State in Saturday's second game.
AJ Murphy was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the top of the first to break the seal for the Aztecs. Mac Barbara and Alexa Schultz both recorded base hits in the second inning that drove in two runs.
The Aztecs (15-10) scored twice in the top of the third and once in the top of the sixth. A San Diego State error led to two CSUN unearned runs in the bottom of the sixth.
Vinessa Nunez recorded two of the five hits off SDSU pitcher Maggie Balint. Balint struck out 10 and did not walk a batter in five innings. Jillian Celis was 4-for-4 with three runs scored to pace San Diego State.
ACCORDING TO HEAD COACH CHARLOTTE MORGAN
"Weber State and San Diego State played great games today. We weren't sharp in the circle and both capitalized on our free passes and mistakes. I thought our offense fought hard and gave us a chance in the second game and we played better defense in game two. We have to keep working and moving along on the marathon."
UP NEXT
CSUN (10-14) closes the tournament on Sunday morning when the Matadors face San Diego (10-16) at 10 a.m. Video and live stats links will be available on GoMatadors.com.
