Team Effort Leads San Diego to Mid-Week Win Over CBU

Toreros beat California Baptist 9-2 at Fowler Park on Tuesday night

SAN DIEGO — A well-rounded team effort on both sides of the ball led San Diego baseball (31-16, 16-8 WCC) to a convincing midweek win over California Baptist (29-16, 15-9 WAC) on Tuesday night, taking down the Lancers by a 9-2 margin at Fowler Park to conclude its non-conference schedule.

COSTELLO LEADS OFFENSIVE BARRAGE
  • Sophomore utility player Jack Costello got the scoring started in the bottom of the first with a two-RBI double down the left field line, plating fellow sophomore utility player Angelo Peraza (St. Augustine High School) and sophomore infielder Chase Meidroth to earn USD an early lead.
  • Junior shortstop Cody Jefferis added on later in the frame with a double to left-center field, bringing home junior catcher Caleb Ricketts to make it 3-0 San Diego.
  • Jefferis drove in Ricketts a second time in the bottom of the fifth with an RBI fielder's choice, then Peraza stretched the USD advantage to 5-0 when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, pushing home junior utility player Max Jung-Goldberg.
  • The score remained the same until the top of the seventh, when CBU finally struck back with two runs of their own on a homer, but San Diego instantly answered, plating four via an RBI single from Ricketts, a wild pitch that brought in Peraza, and a towering two-run shot from Costello (his seventh of the season) to take a 9-2 lead that it would not relinquish.
SEVEN TOREROS TEAM UP FOR QUALITY EVENING ON MOUND
  • Redshirt freshman righty Drake Frize began the game on the mound for USD in what marked his first college start and turned in two no-hit frames, striking out the side in the first en route to a pair of scoreless innings.
  • The appearance marked Frize's first outing since February 27, when he pitched against UNLV at Fowler Park.
  • Junior right-hander Jack Dolak (St. Augustine High School) was first out of the bullpen for San Diego and kept things rolling with a scoreless third, working around a hit and a walk with a strikeout.
  • Redshirt sophomore righty James Sashin matched Frize's game-high 2.0 innings pitched with a pair of scoreless frames of his own, successfully steering the Toreros through the fourth and fifth while neither striking out or walking a batter (he worked around two hits).
  • Local sophomore lefty Cole Colleran (Canyon Crest Academy) continued the bullpen's hot streak with a run-free sixth that saw him allow a hit, walk a batter, and strike out a batter.
  • True freshman left-hander Gabe Maya threw the seventh, allowing two runs on one hit with one walk and one strikeout, then sophomore righty Jack Hyde (Grossmont High School) tossed a third of an inning in the eighth before handing things over to redshirt junior right-hander Ryan Robinson.
  • Robinson continued his dominance in relief, stranding a runner on second base in the eighth with a pair of strikeouts before he closed the game out with a 1-2-3 ninth that featured another two strikeouts.
TORERO TIDBITS
  • Costello led the way for the Toreros at the plate with a game-best 4-for-5 performance that saw him score a run, drive in a career-high four, and hammer his seventh home run of 2022.
  • Ricketts joined Meidroth in putting together a multi-hit game, going 2-for-3 with a game-high three runs scored, an RBI, two walks, and a double.
  • Meidroth recorded his team-leading 21st multi-hit game of 2022 on Tuesday night with a 2-for-4 performance, coming across to score two runs alongside two doubles and a walk.
  • Peraza was the only other Torero to score multiple runs against California Baptist, doing so as part of a 1-for-3 night that saw him score twice, drive in a run, and walk once.
  • Jefferis drove in two runs alongside a single and two walks, sophomore infielder Will Worthington had a hit and a walk off the bench after entering in the sixth as a pinch hitter, and sophomore center fielder Dustin Allen went 2-for-4 with a walk.
  • Sashin earned the win on Tuesday evening to move to 2-0 in 2022.
