5/18/2023 10:50:00 PM | Baseball
FRESNO, Calif. – Saint Mary's Baseball lost the first of a two-game set with Fresno State 17-6 on Thursday night.
The Bulldogs struck in the first with a three-run homer, but the Gaels Jared Mettam answered right back with a two-run shot of his own (6) that scored Nathan Chong to cut it to a 3-2 game.
But Fresno State responded with three runs in the bottom of the second and an eight-run outburst in the third. SMC would get an RBI single from Christian Almanza in the third inning and a sac fly from Dalton Mashore in the fourth, but the Bulldogs were up 14-4 at that point.
Jared Mettam hit his second two-run homer (7) of the game in the sixth inning with Blake McDonald on base to make it 14-6. The Bulldogs would cap off the scoring with three more runs in the seventh, including a two-run, home run.
UP NEXT
Saint Mary's will close out the regular season at Fresno State on Friday at 6:00 p.m.
