Box Score

STOCKTON, Calif. - The University of San Francisco baseball team (16-22, 5-9 WCC) dropped the second game of its three-game set at Pacific (14-25, 3-8 WCC), falling 8-6 Friday evening at Klein Family Field.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:

After two scoreless innings, San Francisco struck first in the top of the third as Kenny DeCelle ripped a two-RBI double down the right-field line, scoring Patrick Keighran and Jordan Lewis to take a 2-0 lead.
Cutting into its deficit in the following frame, Braeden Schnabel scored on a John-Howard Bobo sacrifice fly to get within 2-1.
Extending the lead with runs in the fifth and sixth innings, Keighran connected on a long solo home run and later earned a bases-loaded walk to put the Dons up 4-1.
Pacific responded and tied the game in the bottom of the seventh inning, scoring two runs to level the game at four.
Keighran regained the lead for the Dons in the top of the ninth with his second home run of the game, a solo shot, for a 5-4 advantage. Eddison Esquivel added an RBI double later, plating DeCelle and giving the green and gold an insurance run for a 6-4 lead.
In the final half frame, Pacific quickly loaded the bases before Jake Tandy hit a walk-off grand slam to give the Tigers an 8-6 victory.

NOTABLE PERFORMANCES:

In his second game after missing the last two weeks, Keighran led the Dons offensively with a three-for-three performance at the plate, posted two home runs, three RBI, and walked twice.
DeCelle and Esquivel also recorded multi-hit games, combining for four hits, three RBI, and one run scored.
Lance Santerre earned the start on the mound as he pitched three solid innings, allowing just five hits and struck out one batter.
