Toreros Fall By a Run in Game Two at Gonzaga

San Diego scores, brings winning run to the plate in ninth but drops 3-2 decision at Patterson Baseball Complex

SPOKANE, WA — San Diego baseball (13-15-1, 6-5 WCC) on Friday scored once in the top of the ninth before bringing the go-ahead run to the plate but could not complete the rally for a comeback win at Gonzaga, dropping a close 3-2 decision to the Bulldogs (12-15, 8-3 WCC) at the Patterson Baseball Complex.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • After the Zags struck first for a pair of runs in the bottom of the third on a bases-loaded walk and an RBI groundout, both teams remained scoreless until the sixth inning.
  • That frame saw the Toreros get on the board with a booming RBI triple from Jack Costello, which split the right-center field gap to plate Kevin Sim and cut the deficit to just one run at 2-1.
  • Gonzaga added an insurance run in the bottom of the eighth on an RBI double, sending San Diego to the top of the ninth chasing by a pair of runs.
  • James Arakawa began USD's final set of at-bats with a leadoff single, then Justin DeCriscio drew a four-pitch walk.
  • Back-to-back wild pitches followed, scoring Arakawa to bring the Toreros within one run as DeCriscio moved to third.
  • Angelo Peraza worked a full count but struck out swinging to end Friday night's contest, leaving San Diego one run shy of a gritty comeback win as it suffered a 3-2 loss at Gonzaga.
ON THE MOUND
  • Righty James Sashin started the game on the mound for USD and turned in 4.2 innings, surrendering a pair of earned runs on six hits while walking two and striking out one.
  • Right-hander Ivran Romero relieved Sashin with two outs in the fifth and stranded a runner before closing out the game with 3.1 innings of one-run ball, scattering two hits while walking none and matching his career-high with five strikeouts.
TORERO TIDBITS
  • Arakawa paced the USD offense with a 4-for-4 evening and a run scored.
  • Costello was 2-for-4 with an RBI double.
  • Sim was 1-for-4 with a run scored.
  • Andrew Semo was 1-for-3 with a single.
UP NEXT
The Toreros will conclude their series against Gonzaga tomorrow afternoon as they vie to take two of three from the Zags in Spokane. First pitch in the finale at the Patterson Baseball Complex is set for 12:00 p.m.
