'Eaters Lose Midweek Matchup, 8-4

SAN DIEGO, Calif. --- UC Irvine baseball out-hit the hosts Tuesday night at Tony Gwynn Stadium, but could not out-score them falling 8-4 to San Diego State.
  • The 'Eaters shot out of the gate with a leadoff home run by Tommy Farmer for a 1-0 lead
  • The lead was short-lived as SDSU got a leadoff single and then a home run to quickly tie the game, 2-2
  • The next inning was more of the same this time with two outs getting a single and home run to go up, 4-2
  • UCI kept coming with the offense with runners on nearly every inning but unable to push any across leaving multiple runners on base in seven innings on the night
  • The Aztecs added to their lead with a four-run sixth inning
    • A pair of hits put runners on the corners, and a safety squeeze brought the run home with a wild throw to first base setting the table
    • After his two-run home run in the second, Zane Kelly plated two more with a double up the first base line to make it a 7-4 lead
    • He would eventually score on a passed ball to make it 8-2
  • Zach Fjelstad answered back with a solo home run to start off the next frame, 8-3, and with two outs the Anteaters got a pair of doubles to make things interesting, but again left a pair on to end the game
San Diego State 8, UC Irvine 4
  • Tyler Foster made his first collegiate start but drew the loss as a victim to the pair of two-run home runs in the first two innings
    • Effective relief came in the form of Danny Suarez, two shutout innings to keep his scoreless streak going now at 12.1 innings pitched
    • Dane Grant also came in and settled things down stranded two inherited runners as he retired all four hitters he faced
  • UCI's offense had 12 hits to nine for SDSU while leaving 15 runners on base Tuesday
    • Zach Crandall had a three-hit game for the 'Eaters and reached a fourth time on a walk
    • Frankie Carney reached four times with a hit, two walks, and a hit by pitch scoring a run, and nearly a fifth time with a video review negating it
    • Zach Fjelstad hit his second home run of the season and drove in two runs
    • Kai Smith and Dylan Hillman each had a double in the ninth as part of their two-hit nights
    • Tommy Farmer's home run gives him the team lead with three
