Gallery: Softball falls in final home series against CBU

April 29, 2026 by Daniel Rhodes Leave a Comment

Softball dropped its weekend series to California Baptist at Poly Wells Field, falling in all three games. The Wildcats were swept in Friday’s doubleheader, 13-0 and 10-3, before closing the series with a 10-0 loss Saturday in a run-rule-shortened game.

California Baptist used big innings throughout the weekend, including a seven-run third inning in Saturday’s finale, to maintain control of the series. ACU will travel to Utah Tech for its next matchup at 3 p.m. on Friday.
