USD Baseball: Mustangs
Run Away With Season Opener
SAN DIEGO, CA- The Cal Poly SLO Mustangs dealt the University of San Diego
Toreros a 12-5 loss Friday in both team’s season opener. Led by senior starter
Tyler Fitch (1-0), who pitched six solid innings to post the win, Cal Poly
was able to hold off the reigning West Coast Conference Champions at San Diego’s
Cunningham Stadium.
With the score 5-2 in the top-half of the seventh inning, Torero second baseman
Jose Ortega allowed a routine groundball to reach the outfield, extending
the inning which yielded another San Diego fielding miscue and a Mustang base
hit, giving Cal Poly an insurmountable 8-2 lead.
San Diego junior Aaron Wilson (0-1) suffered the loss, starting and working
four innings, giving up seven hits and four earned runs. Batting left-handed
USD senior Tony Perez drove in three of San Diego's five runs. Perez went
4-for- 5 on the day playing both center field and pitching. USD junior’s Joey
Prast and Lucas Wennersten both totaled a pair of hits for the Toreros.
Cal Poly junior first baseman Kyle Wilson went 4-for-6 and scored twice. Eight
different Mustangs crossed the plate Friday and as a team Cal Poly totaled
17 hits. Leftfielder Billy Saul scored twice along with teammate Sam Herbert.
The series continues over the weekend, with Saturday and Sunday games slated
for 1:00 p.m. at Cunningham Baseball Stadium. |
