The Toreros could have stolen one, even two games from BYU last weekend, if they had played perfect softball. All three of the Cougars’ runs in game one came from USD errors, and the Toreros had a 3-1 lead early in game two. But perfection is difficult to achieve, and San Diego came up short as BYU swept the series to remain unbeaten in West Coast Conference play.
Both game one of Friday’s doubleheader and Saturday’s series finale were pitcher’s duels between USD’s redshirt sophomore Madison Earnshaw and BYU’s senior Autumn Moffat-Korth. Errors cost Earnshaw dearly in the first matchup, a 3-1 Cougar victory, and she couldn’t keep the hosts’ offense down forever in game three, the Toreros losing 3-0.
