DAVIS, Calif. - Â The Highlanders ended their three-game set with the UC Davis Aggies this afternoon, dropping their fifth straight, this time 7-1.
UCR sent Matthew Flores to the mound to try and stop the skid. Flores entered the game with a 2-0 record and his last time out he earned the win over Hawai'i. This afternoon he went four innings and gave up two runs (one earned) on two hits.
The Aggies got on the board in the fourth inning on a bases loaded walk. They pushed another run across on a passed ball making it 2-0.
In the fifth, UCR got one back as Jayden Lopez was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded scoring Ethan Bergan. However, they could not get more runs.
Trailing 2-1, the Highlanders gave up three runs in the bottom half of the fifth on a RBI ground out and a two RBI single.
UC Davis scored two more times in the seventh making it 7-1 and that's where it ended.
For UCR, they will have a couple of days off before a big three game set with Cal State Fullerton gets underway on Friday night. First pitch is 6PM and you can purchase tickets at HighlanderTickets.com.
