SEATTLE, Wash. -- The Weber State University softball team earned a split on the second day of Pacific Coast action.
The Wildcats edged Seattle 3-2 and fell 5-3 to the Redhawks to wrap up a four-game PCSC series at Logan Field.
Shaila Rivers was 4-of-7 across the two games, going 2-4 with a run scored in the first game and 2-3 in the second.
Britinie Hardine earned the win in the circle, her career-high third of the season in six decisions.
In the opening game, Weber State and Seattle battled back and forth, with the Wildcats twice leading by a run and the Redhawks twice tying it up.
In the bottom half of the seventh, Erika James scored the winning run on Lyndsey Minnich's one-out RBI single to center field.
In the second game, Seattle scored two runs in the opening grame after two Weber State errors in the inning allowed a pair of unearned runs.
The Redhawks led 3-0 in the third, but Weber State rallied with one run in the third and two in the fourth to knot the game up at 3-3.
Seattle regained the lead in the fifth, going up 5-3, and the Wildcats weren't able to bring in the runs it needed to catch back up as the Redhawks turned double plays in the sixth and seventh innings.
Weber State moved to 1-3 in PCSC action and 8-24 overall.
The Wildcats will return home for a four-game series with Northern Colorado at Wildcat Softball Field this Friday and Saturday, part of a six-game homestand for Weber State.
