Sacramento State baseball had four games this week against Fresno State and UC Santa Barbara where the Hornets broke even going 2-2.
The Hornets beat the Bulldogs with back-to-back-to-back home runs which hasn’t happened since 2007. Sac State took a convincing lead for a win on Wednesday 8-6.
Sac State then had a three-game series starting on Friday against Santa Barbara going 1-2, winning the first game but dropping the last two due to low-scoring output by the Hornets.
Friday’s game was a dominant performance with contributions by sophomore first baseman JP Smith and senior outfielder Cesar Valero to score runners on base for the 6-2 victory.
On Saturday, junior center fielder Tyler White hit a home run to left center in the fourth to tie the game at 1-1. The Hornets could not build on this, only recording three more hits and losing 1-9.
Sunday was another convincing loss for the Hornets as they got shutout and only recorded one hit, by junior left fielder Matt Masciangelo. The Gauchos had their highest-scoring game of the series, winning 12-0.
Sac State will travel to UC Berkeley on Tuesday and have weekend games against the University of the Pacific in a one-off and two games against the University of Minnesota at John Smith Field.
