Cecil Dominant as Tritons Shutout 'Runners

UC San Diego goes 2-1 against CSU Bakersfield for opening weekend of conference play

LA JOLLA, Calif. – In a 10-0 shutout, UC San Diego topped CSU Bakersfield in the final game of the series.
 
The Tritons were led by first baseman Bobbi Aguirre who went 2-for-3 at the plate with two runs and four RBIs. Her grand slam homerun ended the contest early in the sixth. From in the circle, freshman Jada Cecil tossed a complete game allowing no runs on two hits with 11 strikeouts and no walks.
 
The Tritons move to 14-13 overall and 2-1 in conference, while the 'Runners drop to 4-15 overall and 1-2 in conference.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
UC San Diego jumped on the board in the first when Keila Bosinger sent a triple to the right field fence to reach third. On a fielding error from CSUB, Isabel Lavrov was able to reach and plate Bosinger.
 
Four Tritons brought in five runs to extend the UC San Diego 1-0 lead to 6-0 in the bottom of the third.
 
 
 
 
 
The fourth was silent for both teams and CSU Bakersfield threatened in the fifth, but left runners on.
 
In the bottom of the sixth, Alexa DeMarse laced a single through center field to get on and was able to advance to second when Zoe Richards reached on a fielder's choice. Bosinger was hit by a 'Runner's pitch to advance DeMarse and Richards another base each. With the bases loaded, Bobbi Aguirre sent a grand slam homerun over the left center field fence on a 3-1 pitch count to end the game early and tally four RBIs.
