Two games, two shutouts and a roster firing on all cylinders.

For the second time this week, No. 6 UCLA softball (5-0) delivered a double-header shutout, beating Nevada (4-1) and Lehigh (1-4) at the Mark Campbell Invitational in Bill Barber Park on Saturday.

In their second tournament of the season, coach Kelly Inouye-Perez’s pitching staff did not concede a single run. Freshman pitcher/utility Addisen Fisher made her first collegiate start on the mound and earned her first career win with an 8-0 shutout against Nevada.

“I was really excited to be out there for my first, first game,” Fisher said. “My team had my back, and it was fun to be out there.”

In the second inning against Nevada, Fisher struck out two consecutive batters with a flyout to close out the inning. She went on to punch in four strikeouts in four innings and allowed six baserunners to end her outing.

Alongside Fisher, sophomore pitcher/outfielder Kaitlyn Terry picked up a shutout with nine strikeouts against Lehigh. But the pitchers weren’t the only players who left an imprint in the dirt.

Freshman infielder/utility Kaniya Bragg tallied her first career hit.

“The pure joy of getting a hit is something that – as a coach – makes it fun,” Inouye-Perez said. “Although big names graduate, the Maya Bradys graduate, it creates opportunity for new Bruins.”

UCLA’s roster welcomed six freshmen and one transfer this year, following the departure of key players such as Maya Brady and Sharlize Palacios. The depth of the Bruins’ bench revealed itself in the form of two home runs in the final innings against Lehigh.

Graduate student infielder Seneca Curo notched her second home run of the week, with her first coming against IU Indianapolis on Friday.

“When the ball was hit, twice it pulled the team together,” Inouye-Perez said. “She pulled the team together and slowed it down.”

She added that Curo positions herself as a leader who takes control of a situation when it gets out of hand and ties the team together.

Junior utility Megan Grant hit a homer of her own to the right center of the field, scoring three RBIs and increasing the Bruins’ margin to 8-0 in the fourth inning against Lehigh.

For Grant, the uncertainty of the game fosters potential.

“We’re learning from each other every day with our ‘unity phase,’” Grant said. “Learning more about each other and making sure we have each other’s backs – as we go into the future, that’s the most important.”

Grant added that the roster’s new additions add to the overall team culture.

“The new players bring tremendous value to the team in terms of their openness and youth,” Grant said. “Their additions have been so huge for the team this year.”

With a tournament full of firsts and experiences, the Bruins closed it off with another set of shutouts to end the week.

Inouye-Perez said this is only one step toward an overarching goal – the championships.

“The ability to close a ball game and not let things get out of control – that’s a sign of what great championship teams need to do.”
