UCSB Gets One for Mom

On Mother's Day at Blair the Dirtbags were hoping to do some house cleaning for mom and bring out the brooms, but the Gauchos had other plans. Behind great starting pitching and some clutch hits they took the series finale 5-3.

With many players supporting the cause for Breast Cancer Awareness by donning pink arm bands the Dirtbags came up a few hits short.

Full Game Story ...

With the loss LBSU falls to 11-7 in the Big West and currently sits in third place with six games to go. CS Fullerton is 2.5 games ahead at 15-6 and UC Riverside is a game up at 12-6.

In other words, the Dirtbags would have to win out to have the chance to take the conference crown outright or finish 5-1 to give themselves a potential tie.

Barring a major collapse The Beach appears poised to make post season play and a strong finish could land them a regional or at least a favorable #2 seed somewhere close by.

Hosting a regional would be a huge boost for a team that is a 20-6 at home this season.
