SAN DIEGO — Eight-plus shutout innings from a trio of Torero pitchers headlined a 3-1 victory for San Diego baseball (13-24, 8-3 WCC) on Friday evening as it clinched a series victory over Portland (17-22, 9-5 WCC) at Fowler Park.

Aden Howard, Connor Meidroth, and Jack Gurevitch notched back-to-back-to-back RBIs via a triple (Howard) and two doubles (Gurevitch and Meidroth) in the bottom of the fourth inning to register the Toreros' three runs. 

Cal Scolari started on the mound and threw five shutout innings, striking out three before giving way to Hayden Cody, who threw 2.2 scoreless frames of his own while punching out four. 

Portland scored once with two outs in the top of the ninth inning to cut into USD's lead, but Andrew Mosiello shut down the Pilots' last-chance rally by striking out the side.
