The Pacific softball team struggled to maintain an early lead, ultimately losing to Sacramento State 5-3. The Tigers (4-12) scored three runs in the first three innings, fueled by hot bats, but couldn’t sustain the momentum due to a pitcher's duel. Notable performances included Olivia Silvestre extending her hitting streak to ten games and Bailey Boetjer contributing two RBIs. Despite strong individual efforts, including a solid outing from pitcher Alexa Lewis, Pacific walked nine batters, leading to their defeat. The Tigers will seek to rebound in their upcoming home opener against UC San Diego and Fresno State during the Libby Matson Tournament.
