San Diego Falls in Series Finale at San Francisco

Ninth-inning rally from Dons deals Toreros 3-2 loss at Benedetti Diamond

SAN FRANCISCO — San Diego baseball (17-9, 6-3 WCC) took a 2-1 lead to the bottom of the ninth but could not hang on to secure the win on Sunday afternoon, dropping a 3-2 decision to San Francisco (16-15, 5-4 WCC) at Benedetti Diamond as it concluded its series with the Dons.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Junior catcher Caleb Ricketts got things started in the top of the second when he came in to score on a wild pitch, giving USD an early lead for the third day in a row.
  • Sophomore centerfielder Dustin Allen doubled the San Diego advantage a batter later with an RBI single, driving in junior outfielder/first baseman Max Jung-Goldberg with an RBI single to right-center field that made it 2-0 in favor of the Toreros.
  • San Francisco answered back with a run via an RBI single in the bottom of the third to halve the USD lead, then completed the comeback in the bottom of the ninth with a two-run homer that secured the Dons a 3-2 victory.
TORERO TIDBITS
  • Ricketts led the way for the Toreros with three hits and a run scored, followed by sophomore infielder Chase Meidroth, who was 2-for-5.
  • Allen and sophomore utility player Jack Costello were 1-for-4, and sophomore infielder Kevin Sim (Torrey Pines High School) and redshirt sophomore outfielder Camden Vasquez were both 1-for-3.
  • Jung-Goldberg tied the game-high with two walks.
  • Redshirt freshman Kyle Carr (San Marcos High School) made his college pitching debut for the Toreros on Sunday, throwing a scoreless first inning with a walk and a strikeout.
  • Redshirt junior righty Ryan Robinson tied his career high for innings pitched with 2.2 frames out of the bullpen, setting a new career high with five strikeouts as he held the Dons scoreless.
  • Robinson was followed by sophomore right-hander Ivran Romero (Poway High School), who threw 2.1 scoreless and hitless innings with a walk.
