Beavers Take Series vs. California
April 13, 2019 | Softball
Berkeley, Calif. – Oregon State wins the series over California with a 6-4 victory on Saturday afternoon led by Shelby Weeks and Jessica Garcia's performance.
Weeks led the way going 3-for-4 with one run and three RBIs while Garcia went 2-for-4 with two RBIs. Missy Nunes, Kayleen Shafer and Izzy Owen also each recorded one hit.
California took an early lead after scoring twice in the bottom of the first inning after loading the bases.
OSU evened the score in the second after Missy Nunes got on base with a lead-off walk. Kayleen Shafer and Izzy Owen hit back-to-back singles to the left side to load the bases. Ashton Phillips reached on a fielder's choice as Nunes was out at home, but Weeks stepped up and hit a double into center field scoring Shafer and Owen.
Neither team scored again until the fourth inning when Phillips reached on an error and used her speed to get to second as the Golden Bears chased down the ball. Senior Jessica Garcia came up with a big two-out single that scored Phillips giving the Beavers a 3-2 lead.
Cal scored two in the bottom of the fourth to reclaim the lead.
The Beavers went on a two-out rally in the sixth after Shafer walks and was replaced by a pinch runner, Lovie Lopez. Fallon Molnar pinch hit for Phillips and walked to bring Phillips back in to run the bases when Weeks doubled into center field scoring both Lopez and Phillips. Garcia followed up with a hit into right field allowing Weeks to score and the Beavers to take a 6-4 lead that held for the remainder of the game.
Senior Meehra Nelson started in the circle for the Beavers and pitched four innings striking out one batter before Mariah Mazon entered in the fifth inning and finished with two strike outs. Mazon picked up the win, improving to 12-9 on the season.
The Beavers improve to 21-14 overall and 3-9 in Pacific-12 Conference action. Meanwhile, the Golden Bears fall to 22-20 overall and 1-12 in Pac-12 play.
