After losing a 3-2 12-inning heartbreaker Thursday night they wouldn't get that close again.
6-3 and 9-5 losses Friday and Saturday simply signified how far they still have to go to get back to playing Dirtbag baseball.
After a seven game win-streak saw them rise to a season-high two games over .500, they have now lost five in a row and fallen to 14-17 and just 2-4 in the Big West.
At 8-1, Irvine is four and half games up on Long Beach State for the conference lead.
While the defense and mental mistakes must improve if the Dirtbags hope to play in June, team morale and most importantly to coach Weathers their effort is still there.
"They are a really close team," Weathers said after Saturday's loss. Adding that their effort and camaraderie are "unbelievable."
"I have no complaints, that's big the one big bright light here these guys really are with each other."
