The luck of the Irish was not with the Fairfield softball team this Saint Patrick's day.
The girls lost both their games in the Aztec Invitational, sinking 7-5 against Fordham and 7-2 against San Diego State.
The Stags faced Fordham first. By the bottom of the fourth, they had jumped out to an early lead of 5-0. Fordham struck back in the fifth, driving in seven runs, five of which came on a Fairfield fielding error.
The girls managed to put a few runners on base over the next innings, but failed to round the full diamond, leaving the score at 7-5.
At 10 p.m., Fairfield squared off against the host of the Aztec Invitational, San Diego State.
For the first half of the game neither team seemed to dominate, as the only run scored came in the second inning on a strategic bunt by San Diego State.
As the game went on, San Diego State pitcher Christina Ross continued to thwart the Stag offensive effort, striking out one Fairfield batter after the other.
The Stags threw in a last ditch effort in the top of the seventh, when freshman Meghan Borst slammed a home run to bring herself and Breanne Morschauser '08 around the bases. This was not enough however, and the game ended at 7-2.
