Viks race in Eugene at Hayward Premiere

Softball

The Viks on the diamond continued conference play with a trip to Sacramento State for a double header on the first day. The Viks prevented the sweep, and won their second game of the double header—a comeback-fashion win of 13-9. 

 

Allicitie Frost got her fifth win of the season with a save by Olivia Grey. Sac State scored early with two runs in the bottom of the first. In the third inning, Logan Riggenbach got an RBI from a sacrifice bunt, while Paetynn Lopez advanced to second and Olivia Dean scored. Shea Garcia got an RBI and Lopez came home as well. 

 

A groundout by Natalia Martinez brought Riggenbach—who was on third—back home. The Viks tied up the game, but the Hornets answered with two more runs at the bottom of the same inning. Four more runs came from the Hornets in the fifth inning, which brought the lead up to 9-3 with two more innings left.

 

A home run by Martinez set the tone for the final two innings for the Viks. With Neveah Smith already on base, the lead went from six to four. A single by Lopez got her two RBIs, which brought Dean to second—and Grace Johnson and Kiara McCrea home. 

 

The lead was cut to four. Dean came home from a single by Riggenbach—and the lead was only three. The Viks were able to shut out the Hornets in the bottom of that inning. Mariah Rodriguez reached on a fielding error, which let Martinez advance to third and Ellie Babbitt score unearned. Another fielding error, by the pitcher this time, allowed Dean to come to first, while Maddie Thompson advanced to third and Martinez came home. 

 

The Viks took the lead for the first time in the game right when it mattered. Lopez wasn’t done yet, as she singled to right field—Dean came to third on a throwing error and Thompson came home. The lead then became 11-9.

 

Loganbach finished the final runs in the game with two RBIs, and brought Lopez and Dean home. The Viks held the Hornets down in the bottom of their inning and won in 13-9.

 

Volleyball
