After pushing preseason favorite UC Santa Barbara to its limit throughout last weekend’s series, the Aggies return home to face a UC Riverside team that dropped three of four games against Cal State Fullerton last weekend.

Last weekend against the Gauchos, the Aggies displayed their patience and grit throughout their late-inning comebacks. Were it not for a bit of unfortunate luck, UC Davis could have easily returned home with a series split.

Throughout the team’s stay in Santa Barbara, Jake Brandel hit. 500, led the Aggies with six hits, drove in three runs and scored another pair; Cooper Morrison also drove in three and scored twice.

Throughout his seven-inning appearance against the Gauchos, Jake Spillane fanned eight, walked two, allowed only four hits and finished with zero earned runs.
