GCU picks up 7-3 win over LMU on final day of Capital Classic Tournament
The Grand Canyon University softball team (15-13) used a four-run fifth inning to defeat Loyola Marymount (11-19), 7-3, Sunday on the final day of play at the Capital Classic Tournament in Sacramento, Calif.
Trailing 3-0 heading into the top of the fourth, the Antelopes struck for three runs to knot the game at 3-3. Jenna Coates' two-run single scored Camree Wartman and Kelsey Barak, while Nicole Newbury drew a bases-loaded walk to produce Canyon's third run.
The Lopes tacked on four more in the fifth, with Barak's two-run single highlighting the frame. Newbury picked up her second RBI of the day in the inning, delivering a RBI single to plate Wartman.
Relief pitcher Taylor Nowlin was sharp in the circle, hurling 5.1 innings of shutout ball. The sophomore fanned six and allowed just one hit en route to recording her seventh win of the year. Haley Walker and Barak both went 2-for-4 to lead the GCU offense.
The Lopes will remain in California and will take on St. Mary's in a doubleheader on Wednesday. Fans can find information on how to follow Wednesday's action at www.gculopes.com.
