Gauchos End Verdugo's Perfect Game with Late Surge

BAKERSFIELD, CA – The Cal State Bakersfield baseball team started Big West play today against the UC Santa Barbra Gauchos. This match up was great start for pitcher Ryan Verdugo, who pitched a perfect game until UCSB had a surge in the 6th inning. The CSUB Roadrunners will have another chance to match up with the Gauchos tomorrow afternoon.
 
Quotes from Head Coach Jeremy Beard
  • "That was a competitive game against a quality team. It was a pitchers dual and everything is magnified in those close games."
  • "Verdugo pitched well enough to win but we didn't provide the timely hit when we needed to. They got the big two out home runs and took the momentum at the right time."
