Davis, CA—The UC Riverside Baseball Team is still searching for its first Big West Conference road win of the season following a 4-3 loss at UC Davis Friday evening. It was the first conference win of the year for the Aggies who had lost 10 straight Big West contests dating back to last season (Box Score).
Freshman Francisco Tellez brought a nine-game hitting streak into the game, and he extended it in the top of the first lacing a one-out single through the right side of the infield. Clayton Prestridge followed with a single to left extending his hitting streak to 12 straight. That moved Tellez to third, and David Andriese's ground out to second put the Highlanders up 1-0.
Tellez scored UC Riverside's (17-16, 6-4) second run of the game in the top of the third reaching on a fielder's choice before scoring on a wild pitch and an Andriese single to right.
Dylan Stuart (3-4) allowed just two base runners in the first two innings, bu the ran into trouble in the bottom of the third. Adam Young opened the inning with a single down the left field line, and John Williams singled to right to put runners at first and second. Seth Batty laid down a sacrifice bunt moving both runners up 90 feet, and a walk to Paul Politi loaded the bases. A wild pitch scored Young, and a Nick Lynch sac fly to left tied the game at two.
The Highlanders quickly regained the lead, as Joe Chavez drew a one-out walk in the top of the fourth, and Nick Vilter double down the left field line scoring Chavez.
Stuart threw a scoreless fourth and fifth innings, but the Aggies (13-22, 1-9) broke through again in the bottom of the sixth. Steve Patterson and pinch hitter Izaak Silva both singled up the middle and Tanner Bily's sac bunt put runners at second and third. One batter later, Young singled through the right side scoring both runners to make it 4-3 UC Davis.
Aggies starter Harry Stanwyck was lifted following the fifth giving way to reliever Robert Parucha who slammed the door on the Highlanders' offense. The sophomore didn't allow a single base hit in three innings, and was credited with the win running his record to 3-1 on the season.
Closer Max Cordy came on in the ninth, and after getting ahead 0-2 on Joe Chavez, he missed on four straight pitches to walk the lead-off man. Chavez tried to get into scoring position by stealing second, but he was thrown out on the play. Alex Rubanowitz drew a walk as well that would have moved Chavez to second, but the next batter, pinch hitter Robby Witt grounded into a double play to end the game.
The Highlanders and Aggies play game two of their three-game series on Saturday beginning at 1 pm PT.
