SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Saint Mary's Softball had their hands full on Saturday afternoon in a pair of games against Utah State in the opening of the Silicon Valley Classic. Playing on a neutral field in Santa Clara, the Gaels and Aggies went back and forth for two highly competitive games. Utah State came back to win game one in eight innings with a 6-5 final, but the Gaels had the last laugh in an 8-6 win in game two of the doubleheader. Saint Mary's now stands at 5-9 with one game left in February.
Game 1: Utah State 6, Saint Mary's 5 (8 innings)
PULLING AHEAD
Saint Mary's had what seemed like a commanding 5-0 lead after using a four-run fifth inning to take that lead into the last two innings.
