TACOMA, Washington – Emily Moore hit her first home run of the season, but the Puget Sound softball team lost both ends of a doubleheader at home against Willamette Sunday.
 
Puget Sound 3, Willamette 9
Jazzy Allen had her second multi-hit game of the season, but Puget Sound lost Sunday's first game, 9-3.
 
The Bearcats had a 7-0 lead before the Loggers finally got on the board in the fifth inning. Sofia Gonzales led off with an infield single, and Allen immediately followed with a single to left field.
 
Two batters later, Mikayla Newman reached on an error to load the bases. Jessica Moore lifted a fly ball to right field, and Willamette dropped a would-be putout as all three baserunners came in to score and Moore slid safely into third base.
 
However, the Loggers went down in order in both the sixth and eventh innings.
