Comeback Falls Short as Dons Drop Series Opener to Nevada

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – The University of San Francisco baseball team (3-2) dropped the first contest of the three-game series against Nevada (3-1), falling 5-1 Friday afternoon at Benedetti Diamond.
 
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:
  • After two scoreless frames, Nevada jumped ahead in the third inning on a towering two-run home run off the bat of Nolan Wilson, giving the Wolf Pack a 2-0 advantage.
  • San Francisco cut the deficit in half the following half inning when Michael Campagna recorded his first home run of the season, a solo shot that snuck over the left-field wall to bring the Dons within 2-1.
  • The Wolf Pack expanded on their lead in the fourth, scoring three runs to push their advantage to 5-1. After two straight hits and a walk to kick off the inning, Jesse Pierce ripped a double to right field, plating Jake Harvey and Michael Ball. Derek Tenney later scored the Wolf Pack's third run of the inning, scoring from third base on a JR Freethy sacrifice fly.
  • The Dons rallied in the bottom of the ninth inning after both teams were held scoreless through the following four frames.
  • AJ Guiliana kickstarted the inning with a leadoff double, and Lane Oliphant reached on a hit by pitch in the next at-bat. After two straight outs, Kody Watanabe worked a five-pitch walk to load the bases. On the first pitch, Zack Ramppen nearly missed a game-tying grand slam as he flew out deep to left-center field, ending the game in favor of the Wolf Pack, 5-1.
NOTABLE PERFORMANCES:
  • As a team, San Francisco produced three hits, highlighted by Campagna's solo home run in the third inning.
  • Quentin Pohorski made his first appearance on the mound for the Dons and pitched two innings of shut-out ball, allowing just two hits and one walk.
