LA JOLLA — Well, the Warriors show they can forget about a bad game and battle in the next. That show on Friday before Stanislaus dropped a pair of games to UC San Diego in the conference openers for both teams.

UC San Diego scored 10 times in the second inning of game one en route to a 17-0, five-inning, win. However, the Warriors pounded out 11 hits in the second game and led 4-2 before falling 5-4 in eight innings.

Stanislaus (3-4, 0-2 CCAA) used four hits — including two doubles — in the second inning to score three times to take a 3-1 lead, the Warriors' first in the series, to chase starter Hannah Duarte. A solo homer by Katelyn McDonald in the fifth inning gave Stan State a 4-2 lead.

The Tritons (6-1, 2-0 CCAA) then scored single runs in the sixth and seventh to tie the game to force extra innings. After the Warriors go down quietly with three flyouts in the top half of the eight, UCSD used the short game for the win. After a leadoff infield single, a bunt moved the runner to third and a squeeze bunt by Emma Schneider scored Kelsi Maday as the winner.

Kiley Ragsdale threw better in the nightcap, allowing five runs on nine hits and struck out two in 7-plus innings. She lasted just an inning in game one and gave up 10 runs on six hits.

In game two, the Warriors scattered 11 hits led by Alexus Martinez and Morgan Balestreri at the top of the order each with two hits. Cheyenne Harper and Alex Rowell also had two hits each.

UCSD sent 14 batters to the plate in that second inning of the opener to score those 10 runs. In the end, the Tritons had 12 hits against the Warriors' three. UCSD had started with a three-run homer by Schneider in the first inning.

The four-game conference series concludes on Saturday with a pair of games starting at 11 a.m. at Triton Softball Field.
