Toreros Fall to #6 UCLA on Tuesday

LOS ANGELES – Returning to Southern California for a midweek contest, the San Diego softball team (11-16, 0-0 WCC) fell to the #6 UCLA Bruins (24-4, 0-0 Big Ten) by a 9-0 final score on Tuesday night at Easton Stadium. 

HOW IT HAPPENED

  • Getting the action going on a cold night, the Toreros received a one out single from Carly Ruiz and Michelle Delgado worked a walk before the Bruins escaped the inning without allowing a run. 
  • UCLA put together a big inning to start their evening as they plated eight runs in the opening frame. 
  • Kaitlyn Bartlow got the final out of the first and returned for the bottom of the second as she set the Bruins down in order and recorded a strikeout to keep the score at 8-0.
  • The Toreros would get a pair of base runners on in the top of the third as Ruiz worked a walk and Delgado was hit by a pitch but were unable to score them.
  • Adding to their lead, the Bruins scored an additional run in the bottom of the third to make it a 9-0 game.
  • Returning to the circle in the fourth, Bartlow recorded another strikeout and generated a pair of pop outs to retire the Bruins in order.
  • San Diego wasn't able to score in their half of the fifth as UCLA was able to pick up a 9-0 victory on their home diamond Tuesday evening. 

TORERO TIDBITS

  • Ruiz recorded a hit and a walk against UCLA on Tuesday evening as she reached base on both of her plate appearances.
  • Bartlow threw well in relief for her team as she went 3 1/3 innings and allowed just one unearned run and struck out a pair of hitters. 
  • Alyssa Hernandez and Hailey Mulligan each drew walks as four Toreros reached base via a free pass against UCLA. 

NEXT UP
The Toreros now look ahead to a weekend on the diamond in San Diego as they're set to take on Montana (5-18, 0-0 Big Sky) for a doubleheader on Saturday, March 15 beginning at noon. All three games this weekend against the Grizzlies will take place at Del Norte High School in North County. Admission is free and open to the public, however seating is limited and fans are encouraged to bring lawn chairs with them.
