SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Less than 24 hours after allowing 14 runs in the series-opener against San Diego, Santa Clara baseball received a solid effort from four members of the pitching staff, which scattered six hits to help the Broncos claim an efficient 5-2 win over the Toreros on Saturday.
Keegan McCarville (4-7) tossed 2 1/3 innings of relief to earn the win and Eric Lex pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his third save of the season.
Dawson Brigman had two hits and scored twice, and Ryan McCarthy had a pair of base hits for Santa Clara (11-33, 4-16 West Coast Conference), which scored in four of the first five innings, including a pair in the fourth.
