Softball

SANTEE, Calif. — The Texas Tech softball team closed out its California road trip Sunday with a 6-0 victory against Marist in the San Diego State Classic.

The Red Raiders (25-9) bounced back from a 3-0 loss to the host Aztecs late Saturday.

Pitcher Brittany Talley led the way against Marist, tossing a complete-game shutout with five hits and two walks. She struck out seven.

The Red Raiders got on the board first in the bottom of the third with a pair of two-out runs. After Shelby Johnson walked, Katelyn Williams hit an inside-the-park home run for all the offense Tech needed.

The Red Raiders tacked on four more in the fourth, taking advantage of Marist mistakes. Tech had only four hits in the game. Samantha Camello finished with two RBIs.

In Saturday’s loss to San Diego State, Rebecca Arbino outdueled Cara Custer, allowing only two hits from the Red Raiders. The Aztecs didn’t fare much better against Custer, but had enough timely hits in the sixth to plate three runs.

The Red Raiders have one last road trip before Big 12 Conference play, as they head to Las Vegas for the Rebel Classic.

Tech begins the four-game tournament at 4:30 p.m. Friday against Tulsa and p.m. Friday against UNLV.
