SAN DIEGO – The San Diego softball program (5-15, 0-0 WCC) is set for another battle with a local opponent, hosting UC San Diego (4-14, 0-0 Big West) on Wednesday at 4 p.m., at the USD Softball Complex.
 
LAST TIME OUT

• The Toreros turned in a 2-3 overall mark while hosting the San Diego Tournament, picking up wins over Cal State Bakersfield and UNLV.
• It proved to be an extra-base hit parade in San Diego, led by Taylor Johnson and Tele Jennings, who each tallied batting averages over .350. Johnson recorded four doubles, while Jennings added two and both players now stand at a team-leading seven each.

 
OPPONENT HISTORY

• San Diego is 43-29 all-time against the Tritons and have won three straight games, including a 3-2 thriller in La Jolla last season.

 
WHAT TO WATCH FOR

• Johnson enters the game on a 10-game on-base streak, which is good for the longest by a Torero so far this season.
• Johnson and Jennings both stand at seven doubles through the first 20 games of the season. The program record in a single season is 18, set by Lindsey Fleet in 2008.
• Joecellia Roberts became the first Torero to 10 RBI, doing it in just 15 games. She didn't reach that mark until Mar. 14 of last season.
• The Toreros freshman class continues to roll in their first few weeks in college softball.
• Jennings leads the team in doubles, extra-base hits (seven) and walks (eight) while Michelle Delgado ranks in the top-five on the team in RBI this season.
• Alyssa Hernandez made her return to the lineup over the weekend, after missing nearly 13 months following a knee injury suffered last season. Hernandez notched an RBI in return.

 
TORERO TIDBITS

• Courtney Rose stands at 275 strikeouts and needs six to match Jade Quentin for eighth on the Toreros all-time strikeout list.
• In addition, Rose already stands alone in sixth on the Toreros all-time appearances list (107) and needs one more to tie Cassidy Coleman (108) for fifth.
• San Diego leads the WCC in doubles (25), with Jennings and Johnson leading the conference among individuals and ranking 33rd nationally.
