Jacoby Freitas started for the Bulldogs and had a strong start striking out the side to start the game as he would eventually end up with 6 strikeouts in his 4 1/3 effort.  Errors behind Freitas caused him to stay out on the hill longer than needed and thus piled on some unearned runs.  The Bulldogs would have a rough day fielding as they collected 7 errors.

Offensively the Bulldogs were getting no hit until Dylan Giannini made solid contact to right in the bottom of the 4th.  Ryan Torres would follow with his own single.  Torres would have a very strong day at the plate going 3-4 against good St. Mary's pitching.  Giannini had two hits and Jacoby Freitas had a key two RBI double in the 6th to draw Tracy back into the game a bit 9-4.

"Down 0-2 in the series, this is where we find out what we are made of, " said Coach Mac.  "We have been punched in the mouth twice and now we turn the page to Friday which I'm really looking forward to."

Coach Crivello found a positive in the loss  "We faced two very good arms today and we had eight hits.  We had opportunities to put numerous runs on the board.  If we can clean up the errors, our future is much more promising.  We are not far away from that," said an optimistic Crivello.

Coaches Report:

Lukas Nairn would lead us off with a nice line drive base hit to left. Lane would ground out to second and reach on an error by the second baseman. Two on no outs we tried to sacrifice them over with a bunt but unfortunately it would be right back at the pitcher and they would cut Nairn down advancing to third. Next batter would ground out into an inning ending double play.

Brock Montgomery would start on the bump for us. Brock would take an inning to settle in and this would be all the Rams needed in this game. Brock would would walk two and give up three hits and allow four runs. He would eventually get out of the inning and blank the Rams for the remainder of the game. 

The Bulldogs (3-2)  would apply pressure again in the next inning with a lead off single by Gavin Avila. Gavin would take second on the right fielders miscue. Ben Diaz would single moving Gavin to third. The next pitch Ben would steal second, and leave the Dawgs with second and third no outs. After an unfortunate strikeout Ronin would give us a line drive single to left. Gavin would get a bad read on hit and get cut down at the plate.

That was the entirety of the game for both sides in the first inning and a half of baseball. Brock would pitch his butt off and keep us in the game all the way until the end. 

Brock’s line was 6 IP, 7hits, 4runs, 4walks, and 8Ks!

As a team we did a poor job of manufacturing runs. It could of easily been a tie game but we could not execute. This team is so talented and twice now in this series I think the better team lost. 

We will get back to the drawing board at practice Thursday and see if we can’t figure some of this stuff out.  Pitching and defense were our bright spots.  Hats off to Brock for keeping us in this one!
