LEADING OFF
HOW IT HAPPENED
- The game was very much a pitching duel between the two Aggie aces and UC Riverside's Heinlin, with neither team scoring runs over the first four frames
- Over those opening frames that Aggies held UC Riverside to just four hits
- But in the fifth, UC Riverside got on the board after a runner was knocked in via a sacrifice fly to make it 1-0
- Despite the Aggie attempts at scoring the tying run over the final three frames, UC Davis could not find the run it needed to extend the game and the season, falling 1-0 to wrap up 2025
