Royals Fall to No. 4 Raiders at NAIA Opening Round

Ashland, OR - The No. 20 Hope International University softball team (36-14) fell into the loser's bracket as they lost 10-2 to the No. 4 and host Southern Oregon University Raiders in five innings at the NAIA Opening Round on Tuesday afternoon in Ashland, OR.

Alexis Galvan (9-8) got the start and took the loss pitching 2/3 of an inning allowing four runs on three hits while walking two. Vivian Little led the Royals offense going 2-for-3 with 2 RBIs.

The Royals got off to a good start as two batters in Little ripped an RBI double down the left field line to give the Royals a 1-0 lead. That lead wouldn't last long as the Raiders struck for four runs in the bottom of the first to take a 5-1 lead. The Royals answered back in the top of the second as it was Little again who came through with a two out RBI single to pull the Royals within 5-2. 

That's as close as the Royals were able to get as the Raiders struck for five more in the bottom of the fourth to take a 10-2 lead. The Royals tried to respond in the top of the fifth but were unable to do anything as they fell in five innings via the run rule.

The Royals will next take on the winner of The College of Idaho vs Xavier on Wednesday, May 14 at 1:30 PM.
