Box Score
(April
27, 2008) - The UC Riverside softball team (18-32, 4-11) lost
the series finale to No. 17 Long Beach State University Sunday
afternoon, 8-0.
Just one day after dropping two close one-run decisions to
the 49ers, the Highlanders fell behind early giving up three
runs in the first and three in the third while LBSU's Brooke
Turner pitched a no-hitter through three. UCR third baseman
Kristie Martinez
broke up the no-hit bid in the fourth with
a two-out double, but UCR failed to score in the inning.
The Highlanders mounted a threat in the fifth inning as Tiana
Towns picked up a one-out single and moved to second following
a walk to Krystal Marquez,
but Turner got out of the inning
unscathed. The 49ers tacked on two insurance runs in the bottom
of the fifth to end the scoring.
UCR returns home this weekend for a three-game Big West Conference
series vs. Cal State Northridge. Saturday's doubleheader begins
at noon as does Sunday's single game where the Highlanders
will honor their 2008 senior class.
