Turlock, CA --- The Saint Martin’s softball team was edged by Cal State San Bernardino 3-2 and then fell to San Francisco State 5-3 Saturday on the second day of the Togo's Tournament of Champions hosted by Cal State Stanislaus.

San Bernardino got a run in the bottom of the eighth on a double by Michelle Calderon to snap a 2-2 tie. Saint Martin's scored its runs in the second inning on a ground out by Karen Waznis (Jr., Avondale, AZ) and in the sixth on a single by Lisa Holombo (Fr., Bonney Lake, WA).

The Saints had five different players tally a hit and did not commit an error in eight innings of action.

Against San Francisco State, the Saints jumped to a 3-0 lead in the second on singles by Nicole Hoerner (Fr., Kennewick, WA) and Marlaina Irwin (So., Centralia, WA) and on a fielder's choice, but the Gators exploded for five runs in the fourth, four of them on a grand slam home run to left center by Vanessa Rodrigue with two outs. San Francisco added an insurance run later in the inning.

Carleen Lessard (Jr., Longview, WA) recorded the loss for the Saints. She pitched four innings, giving up six hits and five runs while striking out two and walking four. The Saints’ hitting attack was led by Halley Cey (So., Spokane, WA) and Irwin, each with two hits.
