Seattle U Falls Short Against Oregon State

SEATTLE – Seattle U softball (11-19, 3-3 WAC) opened up a set of four straight at home on Wednesday night, falling to Oregon State, 3-5. The non-conference contest between the Redhawks and Beavers took place at Logan Field on the campus of Seattle U in Seattle. 

The Redhawks began a comeback effort in the opening inning, scoring one run on a Jasmine Wehn sacrifice fly to left field. Sydney Frankenberger opened with a single down the left field line, before Tai Wilson hit a ground rule double over the left field fence. 

Seattle U made it a one run game once again in the second, using a two-out Sydney Frankenberger RBI single to center field. Ava Sin was the Redhawk that came around to score, leading off the inning with a double off the center field wall.
