One grand slam, that’s all it took to beat the Clan softball team on Sunday.
Despite a hard-fought effort, Simon Fraser’s softball team came up empty against Lower Mainland rivals UBC Thunderbirds.
At the top of the fourth inning, UBC loaded the bases and with one hard smack of Thunderbird Kelly Rumley’s bat to send the ball flying over the fence, the visitors marked four quick points and the win.
“Sometimes it’s about regrets and I think our pitcher regrets one pitch and that one pitch happened to be the wrong pitch to the right hitter from their perspective. She just put the bat on it and took it out of the park with the bases loaded,” said head coach Mike Renney, in a press release.
SFU is now 4-28, and will play their final home series next weekend, April 19 and 20, against Montana State Billings. Both games start at 1 p.m.
