Box Score - UTEP 9, UC Riverside 1
Fresno, CA - The UC Riverside Softball Team (2-2) committed four errors Saturday evening as UTEP won 9-1 in six innings due to the eight run mercy rule in game four of the Fresno State Kickoff Tournament.
UTEP (1-2) scored a single run in the top of the first inning, but Kayla White blasted a home run to lead off the bottom of the first as the Highlanders tied the game at 1-1.
The Miners built upon their lead, though, scoring two runs in the fourth, three in the fifth, and three in the sixth to go up 9-1. All three runs scored by UTEP in the fifth were unearned, as the Highlanders committed two errors during the course of the inning.
The Highlanders got a baserunner on in the bottom of the sixth, but could not plate a run as the Miners won in six innings.
