Despite a dominant pitching stretch and three straight wins from the losers’ bracket, the UC San Diego baseball team saw its championship hopes evaporate in a 4‑3 defeat.

A 12‑2 win by UC San Diego over Cal Poly in the Big West Baseball Championship set the stage for a high‑stakes rematch on Sunday, where the Mustangs aim to secure their ninth conference championship.

Cal Poly’s offense exploded in the middle innings, with Gavin Spiridonoff’s solo homer and RBIs from Anthony Potestio and Gabe Camacho, while Austin Bowker earned the win and Josh Volmerding took the loss.

Griffin Naess and Steele Murdock delivered a masterful duel, with Naess securing a 1-0 victory over UC San Diego, while the Cal Poly squad prepares for a showdown against UC Santa Barbara.

The Tritons are set to open the Big West Championship against Cal Poly, aiming to capture the conference title and secure an automatic NCAA Regional spot.
