Dons Win Game One, Split Doubleheader Against Wolverines

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. -- On a cloudy morning in the City by the Bay, the USF Dons baseball team (4-3) played two games on Saturday as they split the morning afternoon doubleheadder with the Utah Valley Wolverines (2-6) taking the opener 4-1 before coming up short by a 12-5 final in the second game. 

USF received strong performances from starting pitcher Weston Lombard and reliever Riley Ornido as they both combined to allow a single run. Lombard picked up his first win of the season after throwing five innings of one run ball, while Ornido threw two perfect innings and struck out four UVU hitters to pick up his second save of the season. Jordan Vujovich continued his extra base hit barrage with his third home run of the season while also drawing a walk in the game one victory. 

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:
  • Game one of the twin bill was a quick affair with both pitching staffs on top of their games leading to a quick, and timely completion of the game.
  • The Dons pitching staff of Lombard, Jonah Jenkins and Ornido combined to allow just one run across nine frames to help lead USF to their fifth win of the season.
  • UVU got back on track in game two as they plated 12 runs in game two on Saturday to take the 12-5 win on the Hilltop.
NOTABLE PERFORMANCES:
  • Infielder Mario DeMera had a nice couple of games at the plate as he collected three hits across the two games and drove in a pair of runs in the victory this morning.
  • Luke Keaschall had two productive games for the Dons as he reached base three times across two games with a couple of walks as well as his first home run of the season in game two.
  • Lombard picked up his first win of the season as he turned in another strong start for the Dons allowing a single run across five innings pitched.
  • Right-handed relief pitcher Kaleb Woltz threw two clean innings in relief for USF as he allowed only one hit and struck out a batter.
  • Vujovich continued his early season offensive barrage by bashing his third home run of the season over the wall in right field and he also drew a walk against UVU on Saturday. 
UP NEXT:
USF now turns their attention to the series finale on Sunday afternoon as they will send right-hander Sam Beck to the hill looking to win the series. First pitch will be at 12:30 p.m. PST with live streaming and live statistics available via the team's schedule page.
