Irvine, Calif. - UC Davis opened the Big West Conference portion of it schedule on Saturday, falling in both games of a double header at UC Irvine 7-10 and 0-8. 

The seven runs in the first half of Saturday's double header were a season-high for the Aggies (0-7). 

After falling behind 0-5 through five innings, the Aggies stormed back to tie it at 5-5 over the sixth and seventh innings. Nick Leehey drove in Omar Plascenia and Jonah Henrickson scored Leehey and Nick Iverson to get within 3-5. UC Davis then took advantage of a fielding error on a Kyler Arenado single that scored Luke Piazza and Raul Sandoval to knot it up. 

The Anteaters answered with a homer in the bottom half of the inning though and tacked on four more in the eighth. 

Iverson hit a two-out double in the top of the ninth that brought in Arenado and Piazza that kept the Aggies' rally going at 7-10 but the Anteaters retired Mark Wolbert on two pitches to end the game. 

UC Davis got a quality start from Kaden Ricommini in the second game with the sophomore going six innings and working around nine baserunners to allow just three earned runs. 

Riccomini held the Anteaters scoreless through three innings before UC Irvine loaded the bases in the bottom of the fourth with no outs. The Anteaters scored on a fielder's choice and sac fly but Riccomini limited the damage to two runs. UC Irvine loaded the bases again with none out in the bottom of the sixth but again, Riccomini limited the damage to just one run on a fielder's choice. 

UC Davis will start left-hander Bryan Green in the series finale on Sunday.
