SAN DIEGO – In the first day of the Torero Classic, hosted by San Diego, on Friday, the Oregon State (4-3) softball team split a pair of games. Australian pitcher Tarni Stepto dished out another dominant performance for her second victory in the circle as the Beavers defeated UC Riverside (1-0) after falling in extras to South Dakota State (2-1).
Despite a complete eight-inning performance from starter Mariah Mazon, the senior was credited with the loss against SDSU after giving up six hits and two runs all while tying a career-high in strikeouts with 13.
