Long Ball Hurts Dirtbags in Saturday Loss
5/13/2023 10:23:00 PM | Baseball
Long Beach State struggled offensively, managing just three hits against the Gauchos.
LONG BEACH, Calif. – After shutting out the Gauchos in the series opener, Long Beach State suffered that fate in game two of the series, falling 7-0 on Saturday night. The loss evens the series to setup a Sunday afternoon rubber match tomorrow.
The Gauchos got the scoring started early as back-to-back home runs and two runs coming around on a squeeze play in a four-run second inning. They tacked on two more in the fifth and single runs in the seventh and ninth, all coming in to score on homers.
Despite the score, Jonathan Carlos was solid out of the bullpen with four innings of one-run ball. The right-hander scattered three hits in the outing while striking out four.
On the offensive side of the box score, Long Beach State managed just three hits on the night, struggling against the UCSB left-handed duo of Michael Gutierrez and Hudson Barrett. All three hits off Dirtbag bats were singles.
Long Beach State and UC Santa Barbara will finish the series tomorrow afternoon in a Mother's Day matinee. First pitch will be at 1 p.m. live on ESPN+.
