STOCKTON, Calif. – Santa Clara baseball scored early and padded the lead late to support a tremendous pitching effort in an 8-2 win over Pacific Friday night from Stockton.
The Broncos (16-9, 5-2 WCC) scored in the first and then added two more in the second which was enough for the combination of Cole Kitchen and Nick Sando who fanned a combined 16 Tigers (8-16, 0-7 WCC) on the night. It was the 14th time this year Santa Clara pitching has reached double-digit punchouts.
Kitchen (3-1) picked up the win while tossing 5 innings of two-run ball.
