2/29/2020 4:44:00 PM | Softball
SAN DIEGO, Calif. – Junior Katie O'Leary hit the Bears' first home run of the season, but Brown University softball dropped decisions to California State University Northridge, 5-1, and Long Beach State University, 6-2, on Saturday afternoon at the USD Softball Complex in its second day at the San Diego Classic.
The Bears (1-8) fell to the Matadors (14-4) to open the day before their setback to the 49ers (10-9) despite the home run from O'Leary that brought Brown within 2-1 through four innings.
"We played two teams from California pretty tough today," Brown head coach Kate Refsnyder said. "We'll keep working to get better each day."
O'Leary (Manteca, Calif.) went 2-for-5 with her home run between the two games. So far at the tournament she has hit .333 with a .667 slugging percentage. Senior pitcher Emily Waters (Northridge, Calif.) tallied a 2.00 ERA over 7.0 innings on the day.
Next, Brown concludes play at the San Diego Classic tomorrow – Sunday, Mar. 1 – against San Jose State at noon ET.
