– UC Riverside fell 8-2 to the visiting Notre Dame Fighting
Irish (7-6) in a non-conference match-up at Amy S. Harrison
Field Tuesday afternoon. Sophomore designated player Marissa
Alvidrez led the Highlanders (7-14) with two hits.
After allowing
a Irish run in the second and two more in third, UCR battled
back using a two-run third inning of their own. Back-to-back
RBI singles by Alvidrez and senior third baseman Kristie Martinez
brought the Highlanders to within one, 3-2 after three complete.
Notre Dame
later added three runs in the fifth and two more in the seventh
to pick up the win. UCR junior starter Stephanie Marshall
(2-5) suffered the loss after allowing six runs with only
three earned in her 4.1 innings. Brittany Bargar earned the
in for the Irish after holding the Highlander offense to six
hits and two runs.
The doubleheader
with Southern Utah scheduled for Wednesday has been canceled
and the Highlanders will next play on Friday against Buffalo
in the Amy S. Harrison Classic.
