Dons Earn Doubleheader Spilt at CSU Bakersfield

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – The University of San Francisco baseball team (7-4) earned a doubleheader split Saturday evening, falling to CSU Bakersfield (1-10), 6-4, before taking the nightcap, 5-2, at Hardt Field.
 
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:
 
GAME ONE:
  • CSU Bakersfield took the lead in the first inning when Zavien Watson recorded an RBI groundout, scoring Jared Bujanda McConnell from third. The Roadrunners opened the frame with two straight baserunners, as Bujanda McConnell and Matt Kurata reached on a hit by pitch and a walk.
  • After a Blake Shepardson wild pitch, moving the baserunners into scoring position, Watson plated Bujanda McConnell on a groundout to third base, giving the Roadrunners a 1-0 advantage.
  • San Francisco responded in the top half of the second, evening the score at one apiece on a Logan Leax RBI triple. With two outs on the board, Michael Campagna worked a six-pitch walk and quickly scored in the following at-bat when Leax found the right-center field gap for his first triple of the season.
  • The Dons scored three runs in the top of the sixth to gain a commanding 4-1 lead. Highlighted by a Zack Ramppen RBI double, Campagna and Logan Azem also provided offense during the three-run inning, with a sacrifice fly and a single to center field.
  • CSU Bakersfield erased the deficit in the seventh inning, scoring five runs to regain the lead, 6-4. The Roadrunners shut the door on the Dons in the eighth and ninth innings, only allowing two baserunners to solidify the victory.
GAME TWO:
  • After two scoreless innings to start the second game of the doubleheader, San Francisco put a run on the board in the third to take a 1-0 lead. Tyvon Moore recorded the game's first hit with two outs on the board, a single to left field. Kody Watanabe followed with a long double to left-center field as Moore raced around the basepath to plate the opening run.
  • CSU Bakersfield answered and erased its deficit in the fourth inning, using two straight hits from Kobe Silva and Cody Hendriks to tie the game at one.
  • Four more runs came across for the green and gold in the sixth, eighth, and ninth innings, as the Dons regained the lead, 5-1.
  • In the sixth, AJ Guiliana struck out to lead off the inning before Ramppen followed with a four-pitch walk. With two runners aboard after Campagna walked, Matty Fung put the Dons back in front with an RBI double down the right-field line, scoring Ramppen from second.
  • Campagna later scored in the frame on a TJ Rogers double, giving the Dons a 3-1 advantage.
  • Fung once again gave the green and gold a spark, working a bases-loaded walk in the top half of the eighth to give the Dons a 4-1 lead. Leax recorded his second RBI of the doubleheader the following frame on a single to left field, scoring Moore.
  • The Roadrunners tallied a run in the final inning, but their rally was cut short on a Watson two-out lineout to the shortstop Rogers to end the game, 5-2.
NOTABLE PERFORMANCES:
  • Watanabe, Leax, and Rogers recorded three knocks apiece throughout the doubleheader as the Dons totaled 17 base hits in two games.
  • Seven players recorded an RBI, led by Leax, who accumulated two throughout the doubleheader.
  • Campagna led the team with three runs scored, while Moore added two.
  • Lance Santerre and Gabriel Barrett shined on the mound in the second game of the doubleheader, combining nine innings pitched and allowing just one earned run. Santerre, the Dons' starting pitcher, went 4.1 innings, allowing one run on five hits, and striking out four batters.
  • Barrett shut the door on the Roadrunners, finishing the final 4.2 innings, allowing four hits, and matched a career-high nine strikeouts.
