No. 19 Anteaters Take 5-4 Tuesday Win
March 05, 2024 | Baseball
- The Anteaters stay unbeaten going to 10-0 on the season and extending their program-best start to a season
- The win is the 16th consecutive dating back to last season for the 'Eaters now officially the second-longest in the history of the program
- The first five frames were scoreless as UC Irvine starter Brandon Luu and CBU starter Jacob Wilson were solid pitching around a handful of baserunners
- UCI's offense all came in the third inning scoring all five runs and three of their four hits
- Wilson exited after loading the bases from three walks to start the frame
- Woody Hadeen singled home the first run, and his baserunning helped stay out of the double play to score another to make it 2-0
- Thomas McCaffrey's looper to center field got down scoring two more including Hadeen to go up 4-0
- Jo Oyama skied a ball off the right field wall to score McCaffrey and make it a 5-0 game
- The Lancers responded with a four-run fourth in the very next frame
- Brandon Luu loaded the bases from a hit and two HBP, but got a foulout before he was relieved
- Ryder Brooks took over and allowed the first run on a wild pitch
- A walk to load the bases again was followed by consecutive singles to plate three runs and close the Anteater lead to 5-4
- Brooks got a flyout and struck out the final batter holding runners on the corners and the one-run lead
- UC Irvine's bullpen made the slim lead stand up between Brooks, Tim Grack, Cameron Wheeler, and David Utagawa for the next four innings allowing just two base runners
- The ninth inning got dicey as Ricky Tibbett came on quickly getting two outs. A two-out single followed by a hot shot that went off the glove of Oyama and third base to put two runners in scoring position and two outs
- Tibbett made the pitch when it mattered striking out the final hitter for the win and his fourth save of the year in four opportunities.
- Starter Luu picked up the win throwing 3.1 effective innings exiting the game without a run allowed to go to 3-0 in four career pitching appearances
- Hadeen had two of the four UCI hits, he and McCaffrey were the only 'Eaters to have a hit, run, and RBI on the night
- Caden Kendle just managed to extend his on-base streak to a record 53 consecutive games beating out a double play ball in the seventh inning. He did see hit streaks of 12 straight and 16 straight at home end
- Others streaks that held up were Myles Smith now a run in 12 consecutive games, Hadeen 11 straight with a hit, and he extended his on-base streak to 21 games along with Oyama now at 34
