DAVIS, Calif. -- Due to the field conditions at La Rue Field, Sunday's final day of play at the 2019 NorCal Kickoff has been cancelled. In an attempt to salvage a game, Nevada -- which was originally scheduled to play both UC Santa Barbara and UC Davis on Sunday -- will now face Sacramento State at 2:30 p.m. at Shea Stadium.
Following Saturday's 10-4 win over Montana, the Aggies finished their opening weekend of play with a perfect 3-0 mark, handing the Lady Griz a pair of defeats, while posting a 10-2 win over Santa Clara in between. Senior human development major
Meghan Bradbury got her team off to a good start at the plate, finishing the weekend hitting .667 (6-for-9) with a double, triple, home run, three runs scored, and a team-high five RBI -- sharing the team lead in the latter with junior human development major
Maddie Rojas.
Junior cognitive science major
Isabella Leon finished 5-for-9 (.556) with four runs scored, a triple, and two RBI, while sophomore viticulture and enology major
Riley Siegel finished with three runs scored and four walks.
Meanwhile, in the circle, three Aggie pitchers -- junior managerial economics major
Katie Kibby, sophomore communication major
Brooke Yanez, and senior community and regional development major
Sara Cadona -- combined to hold the opposition to a combined .210 average over 19 innings of work, limiting Montana and Santa Clara to just 13 combined hits in 62 at bats.
UC Davis returns to the diamond for its first road contests of the year next weekend in Las Vegas, taking part in the 2019 Boyd Gaming Rebel Classic hosted by UNLV. The Aggies open on Friday (Feb. 15) with games against Weber State and BYU, continue on Saturday (Feb. 16) against UTEP and Miami (Ohio), and close out Sunday (Feb. 17) against Georgetown.
