Softball Drops Doubleheader to Saint Mary’s

SAN DIEGO – The San Diego softball program (16-35, 4-7 WCC) dropped a pair of games to Saint Mary's (27-20, 7-4 WCC), falling 17-3 and 4-2 on Saturday afternoon at the USD Softball Complex.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED – SAINT MARY'S 17, SAN DIEGO 3 (F/5)
  • Saturday's opener proved to be a struggle from the start for the Toreros, who allowed five runs in the opening frame.
  • However, the Toreros attempted a rally in the bottom half of the frame, as Amanda Limon and Taylor Johnson each singled, while Joecellia Roberts drew a hit-by-pitch to load the bases with one out.
  • However, the Toreros would only get one run home on an Emma Giaime grounder to cut the Gaels lead to 5-1.
  • The lead would balloon for the Gaels to 14-1 through the next three frames.
  • San Diego did find some positives in the bottom half of the fourth, as Alyssa Hernandez and Limon both singled and the runners advanced a base on a Carly Ruiz sacrifice bunt.
  • From there, Johnson laced a double to right field to score two and make it 14-3.
  • Ultimately, the Gaels would add three more runs and end the game in five innings.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED – SAINT MARY'S 4, SAN DIEGO 2
  • Needing a response in game two, the Toreros and Gaels played a far more competitive contest in the finale.
  • Despite a run coming home in the first for the Gaels, McKenna Braegelmann was composed in the circle and worked around a few errors by her defense.
  • The Toreros had hits in each of the first three innings, as Ruiz doubled in the first inning and Mikalyn Emanuelli singled in the second inning.
  • In the third, Shawnese Hogue-Lacy and Limon each singled and advanced into scoring position but were stranded on the base paths.
  • The Gaels would take a 4-0 lead into the seventh inning, before the Toreros attempted a rally.
  • Emanuelli and Hernandez each singled, with the latter driving in the former to make it 4-1.
  • From there, Hogue-Lacy doubled, and Limon delivered a sacrifice fly to cut the lead to 4-2.
  • Ruiz singled to put the go-ahead run at the plate with runners on the corners, but the Toreros would come up short.
 
TORERO TIDBITS
  • Johnson set a single-season program record with her 19th double of the season, breaking Lindsey Fleet's record of 18 set back in 2008.
  • Johnson extended her on-base streak to 13 consecutive games in the losses.
 
NEXT UP
  • The Toreros will wrap up their 2024 home slate on Sunday at 12 p.m., hosting Saint Mary's for senior day at the USD Softball Complex.
