No. 13 Anteaters Set HBP Record in 9-2 Loss

FULLERTON, Calif. --- UC Irvine baseball fell 9-2 Saturday evening at Goodwin Field to even the series with Cal State Fullerton, but set an NCAA record in the process.
  • With one out in the fifth inning of a 5-0 game, Will Bermudez with hit by a pitch and took first base registering the 153 HBP for the team this season.
    • The seemingly meaningless play set a new NCAA Division I single-season record surpassing the 152 set by Delaware State in 2012
 
 
  • As for the ballgame, it was all Cal State Fullerton from the start.
    • A home run from the first hitter the Titans sent to the plate in the first inning made it a 1-0 game
    • They would have the first six hitters of the night reach to jump out to a 4-0 lead in the first
    • The Titans built a 7-0 lead capped by Nico Regino's second home run of the game in the fifth inning
  • The Anteaters were unable to piece together any offense with eight singles on the night and leaving 12 on base
  • The loss snaps a six-game win streak and string of 10 straight road wins
The series is up for grabs heading into Sunday. First pitch is 1:00 p.m. with Tim Grack on the mound for UCI and CSF's starter yet to be determined.

Postgame Thoughts with head coach Ben Orloff
"We didn't play very well. You give up four in the first, I think we only got the leadoff guy out two times tonight, a lot of free bases, not very good defense - not a very good game by us tonight."
