Beavers Drop Finale at Cal

April 14, 2019 | Softball

Berkeley, Calif. – Oregon State softball drops the final game to California on Sunday afternoon, 4-1.

Camryn Ybarra finished the day going 2-for-3 with a single and a double. Ashton Phillips and Frankie Hammoude both recorded one hit for the Beavers.

The Golden Bears put two runs on the board in the bottom of the first and added another run in the second to take a 3-0 lead.

OSU tried to close the gap in the third led by Phillips punching one at the hole between Cal's shortstop and third baseman. Phillips then stole second but didn't make it past that.

The Beavers did get a run across in the fifth inning after Frankie Hammoude recorded a single into right field. Lovie Lopez pinch ran for her and reached second as Kayleen Shafer reached first on an error. Karla Calderon pinch ran for Shafer and both Calderon and Lopez advanced a base when Michelle Sass laid down a perfectly executed sac bunt. Lopez took advantage of a wild pitch to head home and slipped her hand under the attempted tag to score. Beavers trailed 3-1.

Ybarra tried to start a two-out rally in the sixth with a single into center field but the Beavers left her stranded.

Cal added one more run in the sixth to extend their lead to 4-1.

Oregon State attempted to rally in the seventh that began with a two-out walk to Fallon Molnar, who was pinch hitting for Michelle Sass. Sass returned to run and advanced to second following Izzy Owen reaching on an error down the third base line. That is where OSU would end, falling to Cal, 4-1.

Sophomore Mariah Mazon pitched for the Beavers and threw 110 through six innings with six strike outs and no walks. Mazon falls to 12-10 on the season.
