Late-Game Rally Too Much For Toreros In Fullerton

San Diego baseball drops tough 8-7 decision to CSUF at Goodwin Field

FULLERTON, Calif. — San Diego baseball (25-14, 11-7 WCC) led for five innings but could not hang on to complete the season sweep of Cal State Fullerton (16-22, 9-6 Big West) on Tuesday night, dropping a tough 8-7 decision to the Titans at Goodwin Field.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Sophomore centerfielder Dustin Allen got the scoring started in the top of the second, shooting an RBI single through the right side to plate junior shortstop Cody Jefferis.
  • Sophomore utility player Angelo Peraza (St. Augustine High School) followed with a sacrifice fly to right field that brought home redshirt sophomore Camden Vasquez, then junior utility player Caleb Ricketts beat out an infield single to score Allen and make it 3-0.
  • Sophomore utility player Jack Costello capped the frame with a two-RBI single through the left side that plated sophomore infielders Kevin Sim (Torrey Pines High School) and Chase Meidroth to give San Diego an early 5-0 advantage.
  • Cal State Fullerton answered back with three runs in the bottom of the inning via a sacrifice fly and a two-RBI double, but Allen provided a counterpunch in the top of the third with a two-RBI double of his own, bringing in Vasquez and Jefferis to extend the USD lead to 7-3.
  • The Titans proceeded to score four unanswered runs to tie the contest, doing so with two in the bottom of the fifth and two in the bottom of the seventh before scoring the go-ahead run in the bottom of the eighth on an RBI infield single to first base.
TORERO TIDBITS
  • Four San Diego players (Meidroth, Jefferis, Vasquez, and Allen) notched two hits on Tuesday night.
  • Allen led the way for the Toreros with three runs batted in, a double, and a run scored, followed by Costello, who had two RBIs, and Ricketts and Peraza, who each drove in a single run.
  • Jefferis and Vasquez each scored two runs, and Meidroth, Sim, and Allen all came around to score once.
  • Redshirt sophomore righty James Sashin made his first career start and surrendered three runs across two frames.
  • Sophomore right-hander Ivran Romero (Poway High School) tossed a scoreless third inning out of the bullpen, working around a hit with a single strikeout.
UP NEXT
The Toreros will resume West Coast Conference play this weekend when they welcome Santa Clara to Fowler Park for a three-game series. First pitch on Friday night is set for 6 p.m.
