No. 13 'Eaters Deal 7-2 Win over LMU
May 14, 2024 | Baseball
- The game began with a 30-minute delay to fix an irrigation leak on the outfield warning track
- In typical Tuesday fashion, the bullpens were well visited with a total of 21 pitchers used and 15 along from LMU
- For a second straight game, the Anteater staff allowed just three hits with a fourth-inning single and a pair in the seventh
- Danny Suarez got his second straight midweek start struggling out of the gate loading the bases without a hit, but bouncing back to strand two and allow just one run
- Ryder Brooks relieved with two scoreless innings and pitched through a bases loaded jam in the third
- Riley Kelly made the most waves Tuesday night with two scoreless innings allowing a hit while striking out four which was good enough for his first career collegiate win
- The backend kept things moving with David Vizcaino punching out two in two innings, David Utagawa doing the same in the eighth, and Ricky Tibbett going 1-2-3 in the ninth
- The 'Eaters trailed 1-0 before the bats got cooking in the second inning
- A walk, HBP, and single loaded the bases before a wild pitch tied the game, 1-1
- Abraham Garcia-Pacheco was productive with a groundball out to give UCI the 2-1 lead
- A big third inning helped put distance between the sides all coming with two outs
- An Anthony Martinez walk after two strikeouts kept the inning alive leading to a Dub Gleed walk
- Will Bermudez flipped a double into right-center to make it a 3-1 ballgame
- Chase Call beat out a fairly-routine grounder for another RBI to extend the inning
- Jo Oyama made it a three-run frame with a single just over the second baseman to lead 5-1
- The 'Eaters added two more in the fourth wasting no time as Woody Hadeen tripled home Myles Smith before coming home on a wild pitch to lead 7-1
- The bottom four in the lineup accounted for 6 of the 9 hits and four RBIs
- Dub Gleed scored twice, but was injured trying to beat out a groundball leaving in the fifth inning
- The hit by pitch leaders in the nation got three more Tuesday night for a total of 149 that stands just three shy of the all-time NCAA single-season mark
- UCI finishes with a 6-3 record in midweek games in 2024 and a 4-0 mark against WCC opponents
