UC San Diego Swept by Dayton

LA JOLLA, Calif. – UC San Diego softball fell to Dayton in the series finale in a 6-0 shutout on Saturday afternoon at Triton Softball Field.
 
The Tritons drop to 1-10 while the Flyers advance to 7-2.
 
Getting the start in the circle, Gabby Williams allowed two earned runs and five total on five hits with a walk and strikeout. Shelby Thompson relieved Williams after 4.1 innings of work and gave up a run on two hits and a walk.
 
At the plate, only two Tritons earned a hit. Deena Pederson and Lexi O'Gorman were both 1-for-3. Seven Tritons were struck out by the Flyers' pitching staff. Along with Pederson and O'Gorman, only three other Tritons were able to reach on a hit-by-pitch, an error, and a fielder's choice.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
Dayton struck early with two runs in the top of the first.
 
Gabby Williams battled a full count to then reach on a fielding error by Dayton's defense. Her time was cut short when Zoë Richards reached on a fielder's choice with the force out on Williams.
 
With the Flyers threatening in the third, the Triton defense turned a double play to send it to the bottom inning early. On two outs and a 2-2 count, Deena Pederson notched a single to become the lead runner. In the next at-bat, Pederson stole second to move into scoring position. Dayton's pitching staff earned the third out on a strikeout.
 
In the fifth inning, Dayton pulled further ahead with three more runs added to the board, upping the deficit to 5-0.
 
Adding one more run to their lead, the Flyers scored in the top of the seventh. Lexi O'Gorman laced a single to left field on a 1-2 count, hoping to rally her team as the leadoff batter in the bottom of the inning. The following three Tritons popped up or struck out, leaving O'Gorman stranded to end the game.
 
TRITON TIDBITS
  • The last time the Tritons were swept in a three-game series was last season vs. Cal State Fullerton Apr. 14/15, 2023.
  • This series was the first series meeting between the two teams. Dayton now leads the all-time series at 3-0.
  • In the 11 games played, the Tritons have tallied an error in every game except their first game of the season.
