A Dominant Performance at Home
The Santa Clara Broncos cemented another impressive outing, downing Pepperdine 9‑2 on their home field. The win stretches their current streak to seven consecutive victories, the longest run the program has posted since the 2023 season.
Offensively, the Broncos were relentless, compiling 13 hits and nine runs. Ben Cleary led the charge with a home run, a double, three RBIs and a run scored, while Camden Sos added two doubles and two RBIs. Payton Lambert contributed two doubles, two RBIs and two runs, underscoring the depth of the lineup.
On the mound, Jace Gillmore delivered a quality start, tossing seven innings and allowing just two runs. His performance kept the pressure on Pepperdine’s batters, who struggled to capitalize on several scoring opportunities.
What It Means for the WCC Tournament
With just one more win required to lock up a spot in the 2026 West Coast Conference Tournament, the Broncos are poised to capitalize on their momentum. The team’s recent surge reflects a collective belief that the tournament berth is within reach.
Historically, the seven‑game streak represents a high water mark for the program, eclipsing the previous longest streak recorded in 2023. If the Broncos can close out the season with another victory, they will not only secure a tournament spot but also finish the year with one of the most successful stretches in recent memory.
