Toreros Fall to Lancers in Riverside

San Diego drops 17-9 decision at California Baptist on Monday afternoon

RIVERSIDE, Calif. — San Diego baseball (8-10-1, 2-1 WCC) scored multiple runs in four different innings on Monday but could not overtake California Baptist (10-10, 3-3 WAC), dropping a tough 17-9 decision to the Lancers at Totman Stadium as it played its fourth game in four days.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • California Baptist got the scoring started in the bottom of the fourth with a grand slam.
  • The Toreros immediately answered with a pair of runs in the top of the third on a two-RBI single from junior utility player Angelo Peraza (St. Augustine High School) to make it 4-2, but the Lancers hit back with seven runs in the bottom of the frame on a two-run homer, an RBI single, a two-RBI double, a bases-loaded walk, and an RBI single.
  • An RBI single from junior centerfielder Dustin Allen and a sacrifice fly from junior infielder Kevin Sim (Torrey Pines High School) in the top of the fourth cut the deficit to 11-4 before CBU added another solo homer in the bottom of the fifth, making it 12-4 after five innings of play.
  • San Diego scored three runs in the top of the sixth (RBI singles from sophomore shortstop Justin DeCriscio and freshman utility player Ben Haar and an RBI double from Peraza) and two more in the top of the seventh (a two-RBI single from Haar) to cut the deficit to just three runs at 12-9 but got no closer, suffering a 17-9 loss to California Baptist at Totman Stadium after the Lancers pushed across five in the bottom of the eighth on a two-RBI double, an RBI bunt single, and a USD throwing error.
ON THE MOUND
  • Freshman right-hander Mason Schmidt began the game on the mound for the Toreros and set forth two innings. He was followed out of the bullpen by right-handers JD Goodcase (freshman), Nick Suspenzi (redshirt freshman), Tristan LaMaison (freshman), Chase Minor (redshirt sophomore), Peter Michael (freshman), Drake Frize (redshirt sophomore), and Aídan Gonzalez (freshman).
  • Of the Torero relievers, Frize pitched the longest, matching Schmidt's performance with two innings of his own.
TORERO TIDBITS
  • Peraza paced the San Diego offense with a 2-for-4 afternoon while driving in a team-high three runs.
  • Graduate infielder James Arakawa (Pacific) had a team-high three hits.
  • Haar (Helix High School) was the only Torero other than Peraza to drive in multiple runs, notching his first two college hits and RBIs on Monday with a pair of singles.
  • Freshman infielder Jack Gurevitch (2-for-4), sophomore outfielder/left-handed pitcher Austin Smith (2-for-5), and Allen (2-for-4) all had two hits.
  • Gurevitch scored twice and drew a walk, Smith (UC San Diego, Granite Hills High School) scored two runs, and Allen scored once and notched an RBI.
  • Graduate catcher Andrew Semo (Fordham, The Bishop's School) was 0-for-2 but drew two walks and scored a run.
UP NEXT
The Toreros are back in action on Friday when they resume West Coast Conference play in the Bay Area against Santa Clara. First pitch in the series opener at Stephen Schott Stadium is set for 6:00 p.m.
