Royals Upset By Lions 1-0 To Start GSAC Tournament

Irvine, CA – The Hope International softball team (36-13) dropped their first game at the GSAC Tournament 1-0 to the Vanguard Lions on Monday afternoon at the OC Great Park in Irvine, CA

Allie Puente (25-3) took the loss despite throwing a complete game 7 innings allowing one run on four hits while walking one and striking out nine. Makenna Stuart led the Royals offense going 1-for-2.

It was a pitcher's duel throughout as both Allie Puente and her counterpart Brianna Williams were on top of their game. The Royals had an opportunity to break through in the bottom of the first but were unable to take advantage of a two out double by Emily Puente as the game remained 0-0.

After working her way out of trouble in the third and fourth innings Allie put the Lions down in order in the top of the fifth but the Royals offense continued to struggle as the game remained 0-0. It would be the Lions who got on the board first to make 1-0 in the top of the sixth. The Royals tried to fight back but came up empty as they fell 1-0.

The Royals continue their season at the GSAC Championships as they fall into the loser bracket and have to play on Tuesday, May 2 at 3:00 PM against third seeded Jessup at the OC Great Park in Irvine, CA. If they win they will play again at 6:00 PM but if they lose they are out.
