Trailblazers Drop Easton Classic Finale to Titans

The Trailblazers totaled 35 runs and 52 hits in the tournament.

(Fullerton, Calif. - Feb. 9, 2025) - The Trailblazers wrapped up the Easton Classic on Sunday afternoon falling 8-0 in five innings to host Cal State Fullerton at Anderson Family Field.

Limited to four singles on the afternoon, Utah Tech (2-3) saw its strong offensive start to the start slowed down. 

In the circle, sophomore Riley Price made her third start of the weekend tossing one inning allowing three hits, five runs, struck out two and walked one. Freshman Lexie Wilson finished out the game working the final three innings allowing three hits and three runs.

Cal State Fullerton (4-1) got the scoring started with three runs in the first inning scoring a pair on an RBI double to center field and an RBI single to left.

With Wilson replacing Price in the circle, the Titans added three more runs in the second to extend their lead to 6-0 and tacked on a pair of runs in the fourth on a sacrifice fly and an RBI single to make it 8-0.

With singles by Baylee Howley and Marisa Rubio in the fifth, the Trailblazers had runners on the corners with two outs, but Ellie Evans went down on strikes to end the contest.
