SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – On Friday afternoon, the University of the Pacific Softball team split a non-conference doubleheader against Cal Poly with both games decided by one run each.

The Tigers fell behind 1-0 in the bottom of the second inning when Maddie Amos led off with a solo home run for Cal Poly.
 
With Jessica Mabrey on base from a fielder's choice in the top of the fourth inning, Hanna Krosky hit her third double of the season. The double advanced Mabrey to third base putting two runners in scoring position for Pacific.
 
After a flyout, Mabrey scored the tying run on a throwing error and Krosky advanced to third base.
 
Even at 1-1, Valeria Torres-Colon hit an RBI single to drive in Krosky as the Tigers took a 2-1 lead.
 
In the final three innings, Amiyah Aponte entered the game as a relief pitcher and shut down the Mustangs to complete the game for her second career save, as Pacific won 2-1 for its third straight win.
