In the middle of the sixth inning of Sunday’s series finale between the University of San Diego and their neighbors and rivals San Diego State University, the visiting Aztecs looked well on their way to sweeping the Toreros. Leading 12-3 and with two wins — 14-7 on Friday and 19-18 after 10 innings on Saturday — already in their pockets, all SDSU had to do was keep USD’s bats quiet and maybe tack on a couple more runs. They did neither of those things.
The Toreros scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth, four in the seventh, and six in the eighth.
