Softball Recap: Livermore Comes Up Short

Livermore had lost three straight on the road, but on Thursday they dropped their record down to 13-7 to make it four. They fell just short of the California Grizzlies by a score of 3-2. The Cowboys were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Grizzlies apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in May of 2024.

Reese Boswell was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: she tossed six innings while giving up three earned runs off six hits. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than one walk any time she's pitched this season.

At the plate, Livermore saw seven different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Laine Macosky, who went 2-for-4 with one double and one RBI. Eliza Gerochi also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.

As for California, they have been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-6 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games.

On California's side, Jayda Crosby was incredible, going 2-for-3 with one home run and two runs.

Coming up, Livermore will head out to square off against Foothill at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Cowboys' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Falcons have averaged an impressive 7.1 runs per game this season. As for California, they will welcome Alameda at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The Hornets will roll in looking for their fourth straight victory, something the Grizzlies surely won't give up without a fight.
