Softball Recap: Riverside Comes Up Short

It's hard to turn regular season success into postseason wins, a fact Riverside can now relate to. They fell just short of the Andrews Mustangs by a score of 4-3 on Saturday. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Mustangs this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 14-2 on Friday.

Zoey Quintana spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned (and one unearned) runs on nine hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one walk in three consecutive appearances.
