SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Saint Mary's (24-20, 4-4 WCC) dropped the series finale to Santa Clara (25-20, 4-4 WCC) in heartbreaking fashion, as the Broncos walked off the Gaels with two outs in the bottom of the seventh to squeak out a 2-1 victory.
After yesterday's complete game shutout, Mia Nishikawa drew the start in the finale, and tossed four scoreless innings. She was gifted a 1-0 lead in the first, when Jenavee Amador and Sam Buckley collected back to back two out hits, with Buckley's double scoring Amador to net the Gaels and early lead.
