The Pride took game three against CSUN with a final score of 9-7 Saturday afternoon.
Los Angeles, CA- The Pride faced CSUN for their third exhibition game of the Fall Tour on Matador Diamond, the home of Matador softball. They took another close game in seven innings with a final score of 9-7.
Retired Pride player and CSUN Director of Operations, Natasha Watley, had this to say about the match-up between Matador softball and USSSA Pride, “I think it’s important that the league keep showcasing that there are opportunities to continue playing beyond college. By playing each other, the CSUN girls get to see that firsthand; the possibilities of continuing their careers on the field!” Watley will be returning to Matador Diamond at the beginning of 2016.
