Friday, May 15

Game 1: South Carolina 7, Cal State Fullerton 4

South Carolina scored four runs in the bottom of the sixth and got home runs from Quincee Lilio and Tate Davis in a come-from-behind win over Cal State Fullerton.

Lilio was 1-for-4 with a three-run shot, and Davis was 2-for-3 with a two-run blast. Natalie Heath also had two hits for the Gamecocks.

Jori Heard and Emma Friedel split the game for South Carolina with Heard earning the win.

Game 2: No. 5 UCLA 12, California Baptist 11

In a game that looked like it could give us another jaw-dropping upset, the UCLA Bruins did what the UCLA Bruins do.

UCLA jumped ahead to a 7-1 lead, riding the advantage into the fifth. Right from the get-go, Jordan Woolery went oppo taco scoring Megan Grant who worked on by way of a walk.

In the third, Aleena Garcia blasted a three-run home run followed by Soo-Jin Berry's two RBI rope down the right field line that also left the yard.

Come the fifth, CBU forced Taylor Tinsley out of the game after 4 and one-third. The Lancers put up a 10 spot on six hits. Three walks, a sac bunt, and two infield singles would get it started for the Lancers. Ashlee Annet busted it open with a three RBI double that split the left center gap. Then, back-to-back bombs from Victoria Macias and Sydney Peter brought the CBU advantage to four, 11-7.

The Bruins put up a fight plating two more in the sixth after Rylee Slimp walked and Woolery clutched up with a double down the line. Another walk loaded the bases allowing a fielder's choice to score Slimp and an infield single from Kaniya Bragg kept it interesting at 11-9 heading to the end of regulation.

The Lancers were two outs from sweet victory before Berry singled and Jolyna Lamar knotted the score at 11 a piece with a home run over the right field fence. With the bases juiced, Garcia found a pitch up in the zone, allowing Slimp to score on the sac fly and send the Bruins home in walk-off fashion.
