Colorado State looks ahead to final game of Lone Star State Invitational
AUSTIN, Tex. – The Colorado State softball team fell to No. 2 Texas and receiving votes team Louisiana in Saturday's action at the Lone Star State Invitational.
Â
In game one versus Louisiana, the Ragin' Cajun got out to an early 2-0 lead, but both offenses were left quiet in the middle part of the game.
Â
Relief pitcher for Colorado State Reagan Wick entered the game in the third inning and limited Louisiana to four hits in four innings of work in the circle.
Â
Meanwhile, Danielle Serna, Peyton Allen, Brooke Bohlender and Ashely York all reached base through the first six innings for the Rams but were unable to string hits together to produce a run, including leaving bases loaded in the sixth.
Â
Louisiana took its 2-0 lead into the seventh inning where the Ragin' Cajuns added two more runs via a sacrifice bunt and a throwing error from the Rams. It was two runs that Louisiana would eventually need before the Rams took their final at-bats in the bottom of the seventh.
Â
In the bottom half of the seventh, Hailey Smith launched a towering home run with two outs to score both herself and Maya Matsubara who reached via a walk. The Rams had pulled within two, but with two outs, were unable to capitalize on the late-game momentum, falling 4-2.
Â
Game two was a forgetful game for the Rams as the No. 2 team in the nation, Texas Longhorns scored six runs in the fourth inning to run-rule the Rams in five innings, 9-0.
Â
Ashley York totaled the only hit in the fourth game of the Lone Star State Invitational.
Â
Colorado State will face No. 12 Stanford Sunday at 9:00 a.m. mountain time to close out its time in Austin. The Rams will then return home to host the Colorado Classic March 1-3 next weekend.
