SAN ANTONIO, Texas —
Xavier University of Louisiana softball was eliminated from the
Red River Athletic Conference Tournament as the result of a 10-1
loss Saturday to Texas A&M-San Antonio.
The Gold Nuggets, in their
second season of intercollegiate competition, finished 21-30 overall and 0-2 in the tournament
as the seventh seed.
It was the second straight
day that XULA lost 10-1 in a tournament game shortened to 4 1/2 innings because
of the eight-run rule. The Gold Nuggets' only run was in the fourth
inning, when
Mecolett Bradley doubled down the left-field line
to score
Madison Winston, who led off with a bunt single.
The Jaguars, 22-29 and seeded sixth, scored three runs apiece
in the first and fourth innings and four in the third. Julia Pinson's
two-run homer with one out in the first started the scoring.
The Jaguars' Vanessa Garces was 3-for-3 with
four RBIs. Ebbie Rodriguez pitched the complete-game victory and retired XULA
in order in the first, third and fifth innings.
XULA had four hits.
Chenai Keyes was 2-for-2.
