CATHEDRAL CITY, Calif. – Aneesa Almaguer had two hits, and Gigi Ortega had two RBIs to lead San José State softball (7-8, 0-0 MW) in a 7-5 win over UC Santa Barbara (9-7, 0-0 Big West) in their final game of the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic from Big League Dreams Sports Parks on Sunday afternoon.
The Spartans jumped on the board early, putting up runs in the first and third innings, and then would add five more with a big fifth inning. The Gauchos would make a push to come back, but the SJSU pitching staff held tough to secure the win.
UP NEXT: The Spartans will head to Stockton, Calif. to compete in the Libby Matson Tournament hosted by Pacific from Feb. 28 – Mar. 2.
