Stockton, Calif. - In the final game of the 2016 Libby Matson Tournament, the Pacific Softball (7-8) team dropped a 3-1 decision to the Cal Poly Mustangs (10-4) as Pacific was stymied by NCAA strikeout leader Sierra Hyland (7-3). Hyland and Pacific hurler sophomore Marissa Young (3-3) were locked in a pitcher's duel for the majority of the afternoon, with the Mustangs prevailing after a two-run rally in the top of the seventh inning.
Each pitcher cruised through the first inning before Pacific issued the opening salvo of the contest with a single to left field off the bat of junior Cassidy Gustafson in the bottom of the second.
