• USD and SDSU were locked in a 2-2 tie heading into eighth inning before the Aztecs rallied to plate two runs and take the lead. Hendrickson got the start for USD, pitching three innings and holding the Aztecs to one run on two hits with two strikeouts.
 
• Trailing 5-1 to Hawaii, it appeared as if USD would mount a comeback when Adam Kerner hit a leadoff home run in the ninth.

It was a game of missed opportunities for the Toreros, who collected 11 hits in the contest and left nine runners on base.

• The Toreros held a 2-0 lead heading into the bottom of the seventh inning before the Gaels put up five runs to take the lead and ultimately the game two victory. USD mounted a comeback in the eighth scoring a run and putting two runners on with one out, but the next two Toreros were retired in order to halt the rally.
 
• San Diego overcame an early deficit to defeat Saint Mary's 8-5 in the series finale. The Toreros trailed 5-2 heading into the fifth inning. With the bases loaded, Tora Otsuka hit a bases-clearing double to tie the game and USD took the lead one inning later with an RBI double from Ripken Reyes.
