Looking to bounce back from a three-game losing streak from the week prior, the Gaels hosted UC Santa Barbara on Tuesday before playing San Francisco in a weekend series at Louis Guisto Field. The Gaels lost a heartbreaking, eleven-inning affair with the Gauchos before taking two out of three versus San Francisco thanks to two stellar pitching performances.
On Tuesday, the Gaels fell behind 3-2 and then tied the game with a rally in the ninth before falling to the Gauchos in extras. The Gaels struck early, getting on the board with a bases-loaded Jackson Thoreson walk in the opening inning.
