News

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – St. Francis softball lost a heartbreaker on a grand slam in the bottom of the seventh inning to Christian Brothers 10-6 in the Albie Swingin event for Cancer Awareness.

The Troubadours rallied for three runs in the top of the seventh inning to tie the game. Rhyann O’Mara knocked in two runs and Mary Baccay doubled home O’Mara to tie the game. But the Falcons rallied to load the bases in the bottom half of the inning, setting the state for Kira McKechnie, who homered to end the game.

The Troubadours (6-7) led 3-1 in the game, scoring runs on a Mel Baccay triple and O’Mara sacrifice fly to break an early 1-1 tie.

Kelsea Williams took the loss for the Troubadours in relief of Jada Kanemasu, who allowed two earned runs on seven hits over 4.2 innings.

St. Francis is off for Spring Break this week before returning to the diamond on April 8 at Franklin.
