MORAGA, Calif. – Saint Mary's Baseball pulled off a ninth-inning comeback against the BYU Cougars on Thursday evening for a 4-3 victory. The win puts the Gaels at 16-10 on the season and gave them their first WCC win of the season.
SMC trailed 3-1 going into the ninth after BYU ace Jack Sterner had another great outing. But the Gaels rallied against the Cougars bullpen, starting with a double into right center by Christian Almanza. That was followed by a rocket off the bat of Chris Santiago that cleared the fence in left field for his sixth home run of the season and the game was tied at 3-3.
