DAVIS, Calif. – The Seton Hall softball team (8-7-1) was blanked by Iowa State on Friday, dropping a 2-0 decision to the Cyclones on day two of the Aggie Invitational I hosted by UC Davis. The Hall will have two full games remaining at the tournament on Saturday along with the conclusion of a game halted on Thursday night, to be completed later today.

The Pirates mustered only one hit in the setback, as ISU hurler Brianna Weilbacher spun a complete game shutout with three walks and 14 strikeouts. Lauren Fischer (Robbinsville, N.J.) had a solid performance in the circle to keep pace for The Hall, but allowed single runs in the third and fourth innings that were all ISU needed.

Turning Point
The Hall brought the tying run to the plate in the top of the seventhIns down 2-0 after Destini Peck (Riverside, Calif.) drew a leadoff walk. Weilbacher induced a fielder's choice for the first out, then recorded her 13^th and 14^th strikeouts of the day to strand a runner on and seal the win for ISU.

Inside The Numbers

The Hall was out-hit 8-1 in the setback, with each team committing one error
The Pirates drew three walks and issued only one
Iowa State went 3-for-9 with runners in scoring position, while The Hall went 0-for-2
