UCLA Softball leaves Judi Garman Classic with 4-2 record and loses against ranking teams

The victories mixed with close losses defined the weekend of the Bruins.

Although it fell on two rank opponents, the Ucla-Softball (18: 4) No. 4 in the Judi Garman Classic in Fullerton, California, 4: 2, which was emphasized on Thursday with a 2-1 defeat against No. 6 (18: 1) and a defeat of 9: 8 ARIZONA (21: 2) on Saturday.

After the UCLA had fallen in the same afternoon against Notre Dame (10-10) with three homers in a 7-2 win against Notre Dame (10-10).

The UCLA then condemned three victories in a row: a dominant 16: 4 victory against Utah (6-15) and a 6-2 victory against Cal State Fullerton (13: 9) on Friday, before a second drive was overturned by Weber State (6-14) on Saturday. The 26 runs of UCLA showed the second highest individual game count in the program history.

But no Matchup was closer than the Bruin's tournament against the wildcats.

The Junior Utility Megan Grant has provided a three-run shot in the middle and granted UCLA the first lead of the game 5-2 in the top of the seventh place. But the wild cats loaded the bases in the lower half of the inning with a path.

Arizona Catcher/Utility Sydney Stewart hit a two-RBI single in the middle, and the pitcher/infield Devyn network bound the game with a victim flight.

The UCLA achieved the second pinch runner Kaitlyn Terry in the ninth lead after a field of fields from Shortstop Tayler Biehl allowed. But Terry, now on the hill, gave up an RBI single to the supply company Kaiah Altmeyer, so that the automatic runner could connect the game.

The Freshman-Infield Kaniya Bragg put the bruins in the lead in the 10th Homer with a Homer with two runs, but as a player Emily Schepp, the game with his own explosion with two runs before a walk, sacrificed and single a walk-off victims from Altmeyer.

“Just a great battle,” said coach Kelly Inouye-Perez. “I am very proud of so many things that we did well to get able to win the game and we have to be able to rule it out.”

UCLA's jugs against Arizona-Terry and Junior rights Taylor Tinsley-cashed season height in hits, runs and wild parking spaces, while they only performed five. The performance was strongly a staff who is third in the nation in the strikeout-to-walk ratio and 13th in the era.

Outside of the defeats of the bruins against the wildcats and tigers, they defeated the other four squads with a combined score of 55-13. The Bruins met 11 Homeruns, pulled 25 walks and struck nine doubles through the four play tracks. And while the UCLA fell into the books of the tournament, this is not the case with their performance against high -ranking teams.

The UCLA has repeatedly proven against the best teams in the country and won seven of its eight games against top 25 teams in front of Judi Garman Classic.

“I deliberately planned very difficult with many hard teams so that we can play games as we did today (against Arizona),” said Inouye-Perez.

And while the Bruins fell on both rankings this time, coach Inouye-Perez said that she was unimpressed.

“There is no failure in the pre-season,” said Inouye-Perez. “We will find out how we can close ball games because I have a very talented pitching employee. But we are very young in a circle, so we will learn a lot of lessons. “

Junior -Infield Jordan Woolery, who had three homes throughout the tournament, repeated her coach's feelings.

“The best thing told coach. They do not distribute trophies in February, so we take this attitude into this next week and jump back and use them as fuel for the last week of the tournament game. “
