SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Santa Clara baseball overcame a five-run deficit in the early going and scored 10 unanswered runs to beat Saint Mary's 8-5 Thursday night in the series opener.
Down 5-0 after three thanks to some sloppy defense, the Broncos (18-14, 7-6) responded by scoring in each of their final four times at bat, including five in the bottom of the eighth to take their first lead of the game.
With the bases loaded and no outs thanks to a walk, hit by pitch, and single, Alex Lambeau smoked what would end up as the game-winning single up the middle to bring in the first two runs of the inning.
