PHOENIX, Ariz. – The Grand Canyon softball team dropped a pair of games on Saturday during the second day of the GCU Kickoff Tournament. GCU dropped the first game to No. 1 Oklahoma, then dropped a slim 7-6 decision to Pacific.
GAME ONE
The Sooners struck quick in the match-up with GCU, scoring a pair of runs in the first and then five in the second to lead 7-0. GCU pitchers struggled with command, walking seven batters.
Five OU hitters reached by way of being hit-by-pitches.
GCU did manage four hits in the five-inning game. Taylor Kaye, Sierra Smith, Niki Gonzalez and Loriann Olson accounted for GCU's hits.
Yesenia Morrison took the loss for the Lopes while Paige Parker earned the victory for OU.
GAME TWO
GCU fell behind 4-0 after Pacific pushed across four runs in the first inning. The Lopes would tie the game in the third, but Pacific avoided GCU's shutdown inning attempt, adding two more runs to lead 6-4 through three innings.
GCU pulled within one run on a pair of occasions, but Pacific held off each GCU rally. The Lopes had a shot in their final at-bat with runners on second and third with one out, trailing 7-5. A sac fly by Olson pulled the Lopes within 7-6, but Pacific recorded the final out to hold off the Lopes.
GCU pounded out 13 hits in the game, with Sierra Smith and Laynee Gomez spraying three hits apiece. Shea Smith, Olson and Kaye each had two hits. Olson led GCU with three RBI, while Hill and Shea Smith also had RBI for the Lopes.
GCU is back in action on Sunday when it takes on Weber State at 12pm.
