Baseball Drops Game at CBU

RIVERSIDE, Calif. - UC Riverside dropped a 6-2 battle to California Baptist on Saturday night at James W. Totman Stadium.  

HOW IT HAPPENED 

  • Tyler Martinez swiped his fifth bag of the season in the first inning after leading off with a single to shortstop, then was tagged out at third after trying to take third. It didn't take long, though, for the Highlanders' aggression to turn into production.  
  • UCR struck first across town with a two-run RBI single from Jayden Lopez in the third, scoring Zachary Chamizo and Martinez. Lopez picked up his first RBI of the Crosstown Showdown after driving in two against Utah Valley last Sunday.  
  • Lopez went 2 for 3 on Saturday while Martinez went 2 for 5 with a run while Chamizo's hit streak reached four games with a single to right in the fifth.  
  • Matthew Flores went 4.2 innings in the start with three strikeouts.  

HIGHLANDER HIGHLIGHTS 

  • Martinez is now 5 for 6 on stolen bases for the season while also picking up his fourth multi-hit game on the year.  

UP NEXT 

  • UC Riverside closes out the Crosstown Showdown on Sunday afternoon at the Riverside Sports Complex. First pitch is set for 1:00 p.m. on ESPN+.
