Bats come alive in sweep of Pacific

Needing a statement to keep their postseason hopes alive the Dirtbags provided a loud one this weekend in taking three games from UOP.

Derek Legg and Steve Tinoco had huge performances at the plate and the pitching was consistent enough to get the job done.

On Sunday it was TJ Mittlestaedt (HR, 4 RBI's) and Devin Lohman (HR, 2 RBI's) providing the pop in a 10-3 romp for the sweep. 

Tinoco, Legg and Casas each had two hits in support of Jake Thompson who went 7 innings, giving up just 3 runs for his third win.

Saturday was a slugfest as LBSU scored 19 runs en route to a 19-6 win.

Kellen Hoime had 4 RBI's and was one of seven LBSU players to register a multi-hit game. Lohman added 4 runs and Tinoco did both - scored 4 and drove in 4 going 3-for-6 on the day. 

Jonathan Jones added 3 hits and Legg scored 3 and drove in 3 in the blowout. Mittelstaedt had 3 runs, 2 hits and 2 RBI's.

Drew Gagnon survived five innings for the victory.

Adam Wilk was on his game again Friday night in a 5-1 victory going 8 1/3 innings while limiting the Tigers to just one run.

Legg was 4-for-4 while Tinoco (3-for-4) and Jordan Casas (2-for-4) each had a pair of RBI's.

The Dirtbags travel to Jackie Robinson Stadiuum Tuesday night to take on UCLA before UC Davis comes to town for three this weekend.
