History <\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n SACRAMENTO, Calif. \u2014\u00a0Portland State softball dropped its regular-season finale, 10-2, to Sacramento State on Saturday,\u00a0as the Hornets completed the series sweep in six innings at Shea Stadium.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Vikings put together their best offensive game of the series, tallying six hits. Sacramento State recorded eight hits and took advantage of three Viking errors, combining early scoring with a six-run sixth to secure the run-rule victory.<\/p>\n Portland State finishes the regular season at 14-30 (4-11 BSC) and will enter the Big Sky Tournament (May 4-8) as the No. 6 seed. Sacramento State (30-17, 9-6) earned the No. 4 seed with the series win.\u00a0<\/p>\n Sacramento State jumped out quickly on Saturday,\u00a0plating three runs in the first inning behind a two-run double and a Viking error, then added another run in the second to take a 4-0 lead.<\/p>\n The Vikings answered in the third. After a walk from Jacobi Coombs<\/a> and a single by Grace Johnson<\/a>, Breanna Lutz<\/a> drove in a run with a base hit up the middle to cut the deficit to 4-1. Two innings later, the Hornets extended their lead with two runs in the fifth, capitalizing on extra-base hits to push the margin to 6-1. The Vikings answered in the sixth, when\u00a0Sierra Llamas<\/a> singled and later scored on an RBI single from Gracie Toney<\/a> to make it 6-2.<\/p>\n Sacramento State responded in the bottom half with the decisive rally, delivering a grand slam to end the game early at 10-2.\u00a0<\/p>\n Johnson and Llamas each recorded two hits in the\u00a0loss, while Llamas led the Vikings in the\u00a0series with four hits and a .444 average (4-for-9). Giselle Pantoja<\/a> (1-5) took the loss in the circle, tossing five innings\u00a0before Claire Masters<\/a> entered in relief.<\/p>\n The Vikings will turn their attention to postseason play at the Big Sky Tournament, set for May 4-8 in Pocatello, Idaho.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
