LONG BEACH, Calif.—San Diego completed its second shutout of the season, defeating Long Beach State, 4-0, on Tuesday night at Blair Field.

Cody Jefferis knocked in two more runs on a single to left field, scoring Adam Hussain and Chris Colarossi. Jefferis finished the day 2-for-4, with 2 RBIs. Jake Miller then retired 13 of 14 batters spanning from the last out of the second inning through the bottom of the sixth.
 
The Beach threatened to even things up, loading the bases with no outs in the bottom of the ninth, but Travis Kuhn struck out three consecutive batters to shut down the rally and secure the victory for USD.
