EUGENE, ORE. – Coming off a loss in the nightcap of USD's softball doubleheader on Friday, the Toreros were looking to come out with some energy on the second day of the Oregon Classic, hosted by the University of Oregon. 

In the first game, San Diego pounded out 15 hits and had 13 women touch home, including three in the sixth inning to run-rule Portland State 13-3. Left fielder and lead off hitter Carly Ruiz, second baseman and three-hole hitter Alyssa Hernandez, third baseman Michelle Delgado and designated player EJ Joyner all went 2-for-3 in the victory. 

In addition, Kaitlyn Bartlow limited the Vikings (4-14) to three runs and six hits in five innings of work to earn her fourth victory of the season for the Toreros (8-12). 

However, in the second game it was a different story in a rematch from Friday's afternoon game against No. 14 Oregon.   

San Diego was held to three hits, including getting one-hit through the first four innings, en route to losing 6-0 to the Ducks (18-1). The Toreros (8-13) had an opportunity to score in the fifth inning with a two-out rally, but were unable to convert.
