LBSU drops finale to UCR

Riverside managed to get one game out of its trip inland by taking the final game of the series 4-3.

The Dirtbags had their chances, and held a 2-0 lead early, but they could not overcome a 4-2 deficit in the ninth scoring once before stranding a pair.

Freshman Andrew Gagnon (2-3) was the tough-luck loser for LBSU going eight innings, allowing just four hits and only two earned runs.

Taylor Krick and Jordan Casas had a pair of hits for the Dirtbags but they made three costly errors that greatly contributed to the unfavorable result.

The loss snapped LBSU's (14-13) seven game win streak. The Boys of Blair will look to rebound Tuesday night against San Diego State before a big three game set with Big West-leading UC Irvine. 

The Anteaters just took two of three on the road from the nation's top team Cal State Fullerton and should certainly ascend into the Top 10 in the polls in advance to hosting the Dirtbags Thursday-Saturday.
