SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Santa Clara baseball welcomes Bay Area rival Saint Mary's this weekend for the Dick's Sporting Goods conference home opener. The Broncos will look to extend its consecutive series win streak to five against the Gaels after taking the series against Wake Forest, Utah, Sacramento State and San Diego.
In its last series against San Diego, the Broncos (13-5, 2-1 WCC) took two out of three games to open West Coast Conference play. It was the first conference opening series win for the Broncos since 2008.
Andre Nnebe returned to the Bronco lineup last weekend after being out all season with an injury.
