GCU remain in 1st place in WAC play at 4-2
LAS CRUCES, N.M. – The Grand Canyon softball team rounded out the rubber match with New Mexico State on Saturday with an 8-1 road loss.
The Aggies jumped ahead 3-0 on four first-inning hits, but GCU (15-18, 4-2 WAC) got one run back in the top of the second inning. Lopes freshman shortstop Anjolee Aguilar-Beaucage was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning. With runners on first and second, junior left fielder Gianna Nicoletti loaded the bases by beating out an infield single. With bases loaded and two outs, sophomore right fielder Jaiden Reid was hit by a pitch to give the Lopes their first run.
In the bottom of the third inning, the Aggies tacked on two more runs to their lead as they totaled four hits and two runs. NMSU stretched the lead to 8-1 in the fifth inning and kept the Lopes off the board for the game's last five innings. GCU left five runners on base in the first two innings, but did not have many more scoring opportunities, except for a two-on, one-out situation in the fifth inning.
The Lopes remain in the first place in the WAC with a 4-2 conference mark. GCU is back in action on Tuesday at Arizona State's Farrington Stadium, where it will take on the Sun Devils at 6 p.m.
