Dons Defeat Wolverines in Series Opener

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – The University of San Francisco baseball team (24-29) opened its final series of the regular season with an 8-3 victory over Utah Valley (28-25) on Wednesday afternoon at Benedetti Diamond.

  • Utah Valley responded in the top of the second, trimming the deficit in half, 4-2, following a Luke Iverson two-run home run.
  • Esquivel kept the momentum in the third, driving in TJ Rogers with his second RBI single of the afternoon. Matty Fung followed with a clutch bases-clearing double, widening San Francisco's lead to 8-2.
  • The Wolverines tried to rally behind Brody Block's RBI double, but the Dons held firm down the stretch to secure the victory.
NOTABLE PERFORMANCES:

  • Fung drove in a team-high three runs with a key double in the third inning.
