SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – Recording season-high 18 hits, the University of San Francisco baseball team (8-5) earned a dominating 15-6 victory over Saint Peter's (4-8) in the opening game of the series Friday afternoon at Benedetti Diamond.

  • Watanabe was responsible for the Dons' fourth run of the game in the following frame, picking up an RBI single to plate Matty Fung, extending the lead to 4-0.
  • Scoring three more runs in the third, the Dons broke open the game and extended their advantage. Three consecutive base hits at the start of the inning from Michael Campagna, Logan Leax, and Zack Ramppen loaded the bases with no outs.

  • In the sixth inning, finished with three more runs with RBIs from Logan Azem, Schweizer, and David Bedrosian to push the green and gold's advantage to 15-0.
  • Saint Peter's got on the board in the top half of the seventh, scoring four runs to cut into the deficit. The Peacocks recorded two more runs in the eighth, trimming the Dons' advantage to 15-6 before Magnus Nelson, in his first appearance on the mound, closed out the win for the Dons in the ninth.
NOTABLE PERFORMANCES:
  • San Francisco totaled a season-high 18 hits, with 10 different players recording a base hit.
