That lead remained the same as they shut out the VIkings&#8217; offense, once again limiting them to just two hits.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"205\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\" data-start=\"0\">Llamas accounted for one of the Vikings&#8217; hits while <a href=\"https:\/\/goviks.com\/sports\/softball\/roster\/jolee-benson\/6669\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"6669\" target=\"_blank\">Jolee Benson<\/a> added the other. <a href=\"https:\/\/goviks.com\/sports\/softball\/roster\/gracie-walters\/6462\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"6462\" target=\"_blank\">Gracie Walters<\/a> turned in a solid outing despite the loss, allowing three runs (one earned) on five hits across six innings.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>The two teams will conclude the series Saturday, with first pitch set for 12:00 p.m., as they close out the regular season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; &#13; Next Game: at Sacramento State 4\/25\/2026 | 12:00 PM PT &#13; ESPN+ &#13; &#13; Apr.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":285064,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[121,123,122],"class_list":["post-285063","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sacramento","tag-sacramento","tag-sacramento-headlines","tag-sacramento-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285063","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=285063"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285063\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/285064"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=285063"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=285063"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=285063"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
