Softball Falls Late to Maryland

RIVERSIDE, Calif – UC Riverside Softball Team fell to 3-8 against a pesky Maryland team in its home opener on the first day of the Amy S. Harrison Classic Friday evening. 
 
Leading 3-0 going into the last inning, the Highlanders allowed eight runs as the Terps batted around. Junior Jacy Boles pitched six strong innings before allowing a leadoff single and a walk to start off the 7th. Senior Rebecca Faulkner would make a relief appearance, but wasn't able to find much success.
 
Junior Emma Ramelot had a strong game at the plate going 2-3 with a solo homerun to give UCR an early 1-0 lead and junior Melanie Olmos had a big two out 2-run single in the bottom of the 4th to push the lead to 3-0.
 
In the top of the 5th with Maryland trying to mount a comeback, junior Brittney Garcia made a highlight play diving up the middle, flipping the ball to 2nd base with her glove hand for the force out. That play kept Maryland at bay for two more innings as Boles was able to shut them down.
 
UC Riverside will look to avenge this loss in a rematch against Maryland tomorrow, Saturday the 23rd at 2:00pm.
