MORAGA, Calif. —Saint Mary’s Director of Athletics and Recreational Sports Mark Orr has announced the signing of SMC baseball head coach Eric Valenzuela to a multi-year extension after Valenzuela led the Gaels to their most successful season in program history last spring.
The Saint Mary’s baseball team won its first-ever regular season West Coast Conference title in 2016 and backed that championship up by winning the WCC Tournament with a record 34 runs in three games. All of that secured the Gaels their first-ever trip to the NCAA Tournament, where they traveled to Raleigh, N.
