No. 20 Anteaters Use Triples in 8-4 Win

IRVINE, Calif. --- UC Irvine baseball got its first home win of the season in a Wednesday 8-4 victory over Utah Tech in Anteater Ballpark.
  • The offenses traded blows early on with both teams leading twice in the first three innings
    • The 'Eaters got a run in the first after Colin Yeaman tripled off the right fielder's glove and came around on Chase Call's groundout
    • Utah Tech took their first lead with two outs after a double and home run made it 2-1
    • UCI answered with their own two-run homer as Zach Fjelstad lifted his first as an Anteater deep to right-center for a 3-2 lead
    • The Trailblazers answered with two-out RBIs on a triple and single to go back ahead, 4-3, in the third
    • An error on a Chase Call groundball single put him on third base as Rowan Felsch brought him home on a single just over the shortstop to tie it back up, 4-4
  • The sides were even until the 'Eaters took the lead in the fifth on a clutch, Frankie Carney, single through the right side in his 2025 debut to make it 5-4
  • Blake Penso had the crushing blow in the sixth inning doubling into the corner to score two again with two outs to grow the lead to 7-4
  • Ryder Brooks on the mound settled down the game with four scoreless innings of relief and taking home his first win of the year
    • His four innings and six strikeouts were both career highs
  • Jacob McCombs topped things off with an RBI triple in the eighth inning, one of three Anteater triples in the game
  • Max Martin and Ricky Ojeda threw scoreless baseball for the final 2.1 innings to wrap things up on the mound
  • Will Bermudez tied a program record with three hit by pitch in the game, and in the process he broke the program's all-time hit by pitch record now at 53 in his career surpassing Mike Peabody
  • Zach Fjelstad led the offense with a double, triple, and home run on the night scoring twice and driving in two
The 'Eaters now look to their first home series of the year starting Friday night, February 28, as they host Louisiana out of the Sun Belt.
