Coming in for the save in the ninth was UCSB s hottest bullpen arm, Carter Benbrook, who retired the final three batters to earn his team-best third save of the season.
All five runs scored came by way of the solo home run with Samuelson giving the Mustangs the early lead in the second inning.
It wasn t until the fifth that UCSB cracked the scoreboard as Bryce Willits went yard for just the second time this season to even things at 1-1. The go-ahead and game-winning homer came off of the hot bat of Christian Kirtley in the seventh. He has now hit three bombs in the last two games.
Game One Breakdown: Loss
The Gauchos got out in front early; in the top of the second inning, Bryce Willits drove in a run with an RBI double, and Nicolas Vogt brought in Willits with an RBI single. Vogt continued to make an impact, as he would steal home in the top of the fourth to make it a 3-0 Gaucho lead. The momentum was put to a halt, however, as the Dirtbags responded with a 1-run fourth inning and a 3-run fifth inning. That would prove to be the decisive inning, as the Dirtbags held on for a 4-3 victory.Â

Just as the Gauchos wrapped up the series this weekend against Cal State Northridge. Letâs take a look at how the team is doing a little past the halfway point of the season.Â
With much to play for as the season goes on, the Gauchos are in the midst of a battle for the top spot in the Big West with UC rival, UC Irvine. Although the Gauchos boast a better win percentage at 70% as opposed to UCIâs 65.5% in conference play, the Gauchos are a game back of the Anteaters.Â
