Softball

The No. 1-ranked Salt Lake Community College softball team qualified for the NJCAA tournament in Arizona after winning the Region 18 tournament on May 13.

The Bruins defeated Georgia Military College 6-0 on May 25. Pitcher Alyssa Millemon, a redshirt freshman, earned the victory with four strikeouts and no walks in three innings pitched. Freshman utility player Hola Nakayama opened the scoring in the first inning for the Bruins with a two-run home run. Nakayama went 2-for-3 with one run scored and two RBIs.

SLCC struggled on offense in their 6-2 loss against San Jacinto-South on May 26. San Jacinto-South scored three runs in the bottom of the first and held the lead throughout the game. The Bruins did not score until Brylee Marziale-Hill, a redshirt sophomore, hit a triple to score two runs in the sixth.

SLCC played Yavapai College later the same day, but again struggled offensively and lost 4-1. Redshirt sophomore Mackenzy Richins went 2-for-3 with one run scored in the loss. The back-to-back defeats eliminated the Bruins from the tournament.
