Bears Drop First Conference Series

Cal Loses Tightly Contested Game 2 To No. 25 Duke.

SACRAMENTO – The California softball team dropped game two of its series against No. 25 Duke Blue Devils, falling 3-1 at Shea Stadium.

Both starting pitchers controlled the game early, holding the offenses scoreless through the first three innings. Cal broke through in the fourth when Anaya Togia delivered an RBI double to give the Bears a 1-0 lead.

Duke answered in the fifth with an RBI single to even the score at 1-1. The Blue Devils took the lead in the sixth on a go-ahead solo home run, then added an insurance run in the seventh to push the final margin to 3-1.

Mya McGowan (3-6) kept Cal within striking distance, allowing two runs on seven hits over five innings of work.

Cal (8-16) returns to Shea Stadium on Sunday for the series finale against Duke. First pitch is scheduled for 12 p.m. PT.
