Dons Win Fourth Straight WCC Contest, Defeat Redhawks in Series Opener

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – The University of San Francisco baseball team (13-11, 4-0) remained undefeated to start West Coast Conference play with an 8-4 victory over Seattle U (6-15, 2-2) in the series opener on Friday at Benedetti Diamond.
 
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:

  • Tyler Harries scored the opening run for San Francisco in the bottom of the first inning, crossing home plate on a Trevor Harmon base-loaded infield single. Wyatt Davis added to the early lead with a sacrifice fly later in the frame to push the advantage to 2-0.
  • The Dons doubled their lead in the second inning, as Jared Lewis and Eddison Esquivel recorded RBI base hits for a 4-0 advantage. Jayden Garrison scored on Lewis' RBI single to right field, while Esquivel registered a two-out RBI double later in the inning.
  • Seattle U tied the game at four in the top of the fourth inning on a Royce Hall grand slam.
  • After Harries regained the lead for the green and gold, 5-4, with a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the sixth, Esquivel recorded another double, a two-RBI knock to right center field, for a 7-4 edge.
  • Lewis posted his second RBI of the afternoon in the seventh, sneaking a single through the left side of the infield, scoring Zack Ramppen, to complete the Dons' scoring at 8-4.
  • Chris Byhre and Kai Yovanovich combined to pitch the final 3.2 innings and held the Redhawks scoreless and without a baserunner to solidify the victory.
NOTABLE PERFORMANCES:
  • Six players recorded multi-hit games, the most for the program in a game this season. Landry led the green and gold with three hits in four at-bats and a run scored.
  • Esquivel went two-for-four at the plate, his team-leading eighth multi-hit game of the season, with two doubles, three RBI, and a walk. He also added to his streak of reaching base safely to 13 straight games.
  • Despite the no-decision in his seventh start, Gabriel Barrett recorded a season-high seven strikeouts in 3.1 innings pitched.
  • Byhre earned his first win on the mound as a member of the green and gold, pitching 2.2 scoreless frames and striking out two batters.
  • As a team offensively, San Francisco totaled eight runs throughout the contest, the third straight game with at least six runs scored. The Dons have recorded 22 runs in the last three games, with nine coming at Nevada last Tuesday.
