Dirtbags win second series in a row

The Dirtbags started conference play the same way they entered it, by winning games.

After winning seven games in the first five weeks they now have seven wins in the past nine days and have ridden the hot streak to a 14-12 mark.

Strong pitching, steady defense and timely hitting are 2009 staples and they have led to a 2-0 conference mark with wins against UC Riverside (5-2 Friday night and 2-1 this afternoon).

Jake Thompson is pitching like its 2008 with his second straight great outing.

He was one out short of a complete game at Blair today after going eight shutout innings last week. 

Charlie Ruiz got his sixth save by recording the final out.

Brennan Metzger was 3-for-3 while Jonathan Jones and TJ Mittlestaedt were 2-for-4.


Adam Wilk ran his record to 4-1 with the win in the series opener. He went 7 and 1/3 innings surrendering just two runs while Ruiz worked 1 and 2/3 perfect innings in relief for the save.

Jordan Casas and Taylor Krick both had a pair of hits and an RBI.
