Tigers Win First Game of Libby Matson Tournament

STOCKTON, Calif. - On Friday, the first day of the 2021 Libby Matson Tournament, the University of the Pacific Softball team split a pair of games. Pacific took game one, 3-2 over Idaho State. However, in the final game of the day at Bill Simoni Field, the Tigers were shut out by Nevada, 4-0. 

GAME ONE SUMMARY

Pacific 3, Idaho State 2

Through 3 1/2 innings, the Tigers and Bengals were scoreless. Bethany Hammer retired 12 of the first 13 batters she faced allowing only one hit, as no ball reached the outfield for Idaho State in the first four innings. 

With one out in the bottom of the fourth, Rian Dirmeyer singled. After Dirmeyer's single, Madison Kahwaty and Madeline Domingo each singled to load the bases. With three runners on base, Carly Lucchetti doubled to left center, driving in all three base runners to give Pacific a 3-0 lead.  

The Bengals scored their first run of the game on a two-out RBI infield single by Rheanne Lewis with the bases loaded. 

In the bottom of the seventh, two runners were in scoring position for Idaho State. Lewis singled in the second run for Idaho State, as the tying run reached third base. But an infield popup sealed the game for the Tigers, who earned a 3-2 victory. 

GAME TWO SUMMARY

Nevada 4, Pacific 0

An infield single in the first inning by Sierra Mello to drive in Chelie Senini gave Nevada a 1-0 lead.

The Wolfpack scored three more runs in the top of the third, as Lauren Gutierrez and Mello each had RBI singles, and Gutierrez scored Nevada's fourth run when Jessica Sellers hit into a fielder's choice for an RBI. 

Pacific was limited to only two hits against the Wolfpack - one each by Hammer and Kahwaty.

POSTGAME QUOTES

Pacific head coach Brian Kolze after Friday's tournament action:
"Even though we split the first two games, we played fairly clean. We just need to continue to improve and trust our decision making in all phases to move forward."

" I thought though we struggled at times at the plate, we became more confident and emotionally strong as the day went on. And that will help us tremendously moving forward."
