SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Santa Clara softball beat Illinois-Chicago 4-2 but fell to South Dakota 6-4 Saturday on the second day of the Santa Clara Invitational.
Game 1
Santa Clara's (2-7) defense betrayed it in the first game of the day as the Broncos committed five errors.
With the game tied 3-all, a leadoff double by Christy Warnock in the top of the sixth led to a run when the next batter singled and the Broncos committed an error allowing her to come around to score. Another error brought in the second run of the inning and Shelby Keil made it 6-3 with a sacrifice fly.
