No. 16 'Eaters Pull Away for 11-2 Saturday Win

LONG BEACH, Calif. --- UC Irvine baseball put up another complete victory Saturday taking down Long Beach State, 11-2, in Bohl Diamond at Blair Field.
  • The Anteaters burst out for two runs in the first as Jo Oyama's triple got things going followed by a Myles Smith RBI double and Anthony Martinez RBI single for a 2-0 lead
  • The Dirtbags got back even in the second inning with help from a couple Anteater errors. A run-scoring hit and a squeeze play made it 2-2
  • The Anteater offense took things from there starting with an Anthony Martinez home run in the fourth to go up, 4-2
  • UCI added with three-run innings in fifth and seventh punctuated by a Chase Call RBI double in the first frame and a two-out, two-strike, two-run single by Myles Smith in the next
  • Trevor Hansen did more than his share on the mound cruising through six innings with five strikeouts including eluding a bases loaded jam in the fifth
    • Hansen improved to 6-1 on the year while collecting his second straight quality start and third of the season
    • Ricky Ojeda locked things down with two perfect innings in relief, and David Utagawa closed out the ninth with a pair of strikeouts
  • All nine Anteater hitters scored a run and recorded a hit of the 17 hits of the team
    • Myles Smith was at it again with three hits and shared the team lead with two runs and three RBIs
    • Martinez also had a three-RBI game and led the squad with three hits including his eighth home run to tie for the team lead
  • The HBP leaders in the nation racked up three more on the night for 143 to improve upon their program record including two by Woody Hadeen for 42 in his career
The series finishes up Sunday afternoon with a 1:00 p.m. first pitch. Tim Grack makes his first weekend start going against LBSU sophomore Kellan Montgomery

Postgame Thoughts with head coach Ben Orloff
"We got another good start, Ojeda was really good out of the pen, and Utagawa in the ninth. I thought we played really good offense tonight. The first inning we get a bunch of good hits and score two runs. Both those three-run inning I know we got down some good bunts; it feels good to play good offense."

"Hansen two starts in a row really good. He's had a solid year, last week was probably his best that he's pitched and followed that up with six innings, two runs, two walks, that's a really good outing. Ojeda yeah he might be one of the most valuable players on the field, and another good performance from tonight."
