For the University of New Mexico softball team (2-11), Saturday’s game started off differently. With a lead. However, it wasn’t meant to be for the Lobos on the second day of the UC Riverside Classic, as the Lobos fell to Montana (2-10), as the Grizzlies used a three run sixth inning to take a lead they would hold until the final out.
A Chelsea Johnson double gave New Mexico its first two runs and the early 2-0 lead. Cameryn O’Grady started the Lobos off with a leadoff walk and Sydney Townes followed her with another. A D’Andra DeFlora sacrifice bunt allowed the runners to advance into scoring position, and Johnson followed with the double to give the Lobos the lead.
