The short story: Tyler Wood retired 12 straight Titans in a masterful relief appearance, and
Ned Frutchey started strong, allowing only two runs, but the Aggies were held in check by Cal State Fullerton, dropping Saturday night's game, 2-0.
Â
FIRST PITCH
- Wood delivered five shutout innings, allowing just one hit with no walks and six strikeouts
- This marked Wood's fifth straight appearance surrendering one or fewer runs
- The Aggies out-hit the Titans, 6-3
- Alex Gouveia led UC Davis at the plate, going 2-for-3 with a double
- Four Titans pitchers combined for the shutout, led by Jason Krakoski's four-inning start and Andrew Wright's second straight save
HOW IT HAPPENED
- UC Davis had chances to score but couldn't capitalize, while the Titans maximized their limited opportunities
- With just three hits, Fullerton plated its only two runs in the second inning on a fielder's choice and an error following Isaiah Gomez's swinging bunt
- The Aggies hit three doubles with fewer than two outs—from Gouveia (5th), Jason Hanson (6th), and Riley Acosta (9th)—but failed to convert
- Titan pitchers stifled rallies, issuing only two free passes all night and racking up 10 strikeouts in the 2-0 victory
UP NEXT: UC Davis gets one more shot at the Titans on Sunday, April 27, at 1 p.m., with
Matthew Barnes II scheduled to start.
