PALM SPRINGS, Calif. – The No. RV/RV Oregon State University softball program couldn't overcome its miscues on Saturday at the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic as it dropped a 10-7 decision to No. 6/12 Auburn at the Big League Dreams Park.
"Defensively we didn't get it done," said head coach Laura Berg. "We did what we needed to do offensively and in the circle to beat Auburn, but we're not going to beat top 25 teams while committing five errors.
"We just have to play catch."
The mistakes piled up early as Victoria Draper reached on an infield single to short in the top of the first, but a throwing error sent her to second and she eventually scored on a wild pitch to give Auburn (17-1) an early 1-0 lead.
