Toreros Drop Midweek Matchup to Matadors

San Diego falls 7-4 against CSUN at Fowler Park

SAN DIEGO — Four runs from Cal State Northridge (24-11, 10-5 Big West) in the top of the eighth inning on Tuesday night dealt San Diego baseball (18-20-1, 11-7 WCC) a 7-4 defeat at Fowler Park as it completed its second-to-last midweek non-conference matchup of 2023.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The Matadors struck for a pair of runs in the top of the first inning on a bases-loaded hit by pitch and walk.
  • The Toreros immediately answered in the bottom of the frame with an RBI triple from Dustin Allen and an RBI groundout from Angelo Peraza to tie the score at 2-2, where it remained until the top of the eighth.
  • CSUN plated four runs that inning via two bases-loaded hit by pitches and a two-RBI single to pull ahead by a 6-2 margin, but USD again responded with a pair of runs, scoring twice on an RBI single from Austin Smith and an RBI double from Will Worthington to cut the deficit to 6-4.
  • After a RBI double in the top of the ninth extended the Matadors' lead, San Diego brought the game's tying run to the plate in the bottom half of the frame but could not complete a comeback.
ON THE MOUND
  • James Sashin led the San Diego pitching staff on Tuesday night with 2.1 scoreless frames.
  • Drake Frize, Chase Minor, JD Goodcase, and Nick Suspenzi all followed with one scoreless inning apiece.
  • Graduate transfer Andrew Semo pitched the top of the ninth for the Toreros after catching the contest's first eight innings and allowed a run on two hits alongside a hit by pitch and a strikeout.
TORERO TIDBITS
  • Allen paced the USD offense with a 3-for-5 performance that saw him drive in a run and score a run.
  • DeCriscio was next with a 2-for-5 evening that marked his fourth consecutive multi-hit game and his 15th game with more than one hit so far this season, which are the most of any San Diego player.
  • Peraza and Semo both drew two walks, with Peraza's free passes marking his team-leading 26th and 27th of 2023.
  • Sashin had a team-high four strikeouts.
UP NEXT
The Toreros are back in action on Friday, when they begin a crucial three-game West Coast Conference series in Los Angeles against Loyola Marymount. First pitch at Page Stadium is set for 6:00 p.m.
