Softball Drops Pair in Fullerton

FULLERTON, Calif. – The San Diego softball program (0-3, 0-0 WCC) dropped a pair of contests on Saturday, falling at Cal State Fullerton (2-2, 0-0 Big West), 3-2, while falling 14-6 to California (4-0, 0-0 PAC-12) at Anderson Family Field.  
 
HOW IT HAPPENED – SAN DIEGO 2, CAL STATE FULLERTON 3
  • The Titans were the first team on the board in the second inning with a solo home run from Jessi Alcala, but the game remained close throughout the afternoon.
  • Freshman Kelsey Tadlock started in the circle for the first time in her collegiate career and kept the Titans in check for much of the game.
  • Needing a spark on offense, Taylor Johnson drew a hit by pitch in the fifth inning and Savannah Alarcon would pinch run for her.
  • Arisa Tovar stepped to the plate and drove in the first run of the season, lacing a double to left center field to score Alarcon and tie the game at 1-1.
  • The Titans responded with a run in the bottom half of the fifth, but the Toreros would not quit.
  • Tadlock finished with a complete six innings in the circle, allowing only two earned runs and striking out four.
  • In the seventh inning, Mikalyn Emanuelli used her speed on the base paths to give the Toreros some life.
  • After a throwing error allowed her to reach, she advanced to second and then to third on another error and a wild pitch.
  • Izzy Owen would step to the plate and lay down a perfect bunt, with Emanuelli flying down the line to beat the tag and tie the game at 2-2.
  • Owen would make her way to third base in the same inning but was ultimately stranded.
  • The Titans would secure a walk-off single from Hannah Becer, who brought home the run after a throwing error allowed her to reach third base.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED – SAN DIEGO 6, CALIFORNIA 14
  • Unlike the first meeting on Friday, the Toreros were the first team to strike, scoring two runs in the top of the first inning.
  • Johnson opened the scoring with a sacrifice fly, while Ashley Daugherty earned her first RBI of the season with a single.
  • However, the Golden Bears responded with seven consecutive runs to take the lead.
  • Needing a response, it was freshman EJ Joyner who laced an RBI double, before Tovar picked up her second RBI of the day with a base hit to make it 7-4 in the top of the third.
  • California struck quicky with four more runs to lead 11-4, but the Toreros answered in the top of the fifth inning.
  • Making her collegiate debut, Shawnese Hogue-Lacy delivered a big, two RBI double to cut the California lead back to five.
  • However, the Toreros would get no closer, as the Golden Bears secured the victory, 14-6.
 
TORERO TIDBITS
  • Hogue-Lacy, Johnson and Joyner all recorded their first collegiate RBI on Saturday.
  • Joyner and Owen have hit safely in all three games this season.
  • Daugherty finished with three hits on the day, good for the most in a game by a Torero this season.
