SANTA CLARA, Calif. - San Diego scored two runs in the top of the ninth taking advantage of a Santa Clara baseball miscue to win 2-1 in the series opener on Friday at Stephen Schott Stadium.
Trailing 1-0 heading to the final inning and facing Bronco closer Travis Howard, the Toreros (23-8, 9-4) got a leadoff single from Caleb Ricketts. Kevin Sim followed with a single, his second of the game, but the ball skirted under centerfielder Coleman Brigman's glove allowing Ricketts to score all the way from first to tie the game at 1-all.
