HOME OF BULLDOG BASEBALL - 10 SCIAC Championships

Redlands Baseball Plates 23, Coasts Past Caltech

The University of Redlands baseball team had little trouble handling Caltech on Friday in Pasadena, walking away with a victory by a 23-3 final.

A 12-run Bulldog second broke the game open, and the Beavers were unable to recover from the deficit.

Senior outfielder/catcher Kyle Rizzo (Redlands, CA), freshman infielder Ben Saunders (New River, AZ), freshman first baseman Terry Dempsey (Pinetop, AZ), sophomore outfielder Brandon Owashi (San Diego, CA) and senior outfielder Jordan Snider (Temecula, CA) all batted a perfect 2-for-2 from the dish. Rizzo scored two runs and batted in two, Saunders crossed home plate twice and drove in one, Dempsey plated a run and scored once, Owashi pushed across four runners and Snider notched three RBI and two runs.

Additional multi-hit outings came from senior utility player Will Wetmore (Santa Cruz, CA), senior catcher Brett Sandford (Santa Barbara, CA) and sophomore outfielder Joe MacMillan (Pasadena, CA).

Receiving the starting nod for the Maroon and Gray, freshman pitcher Josh Snyder (Englewood, CO) pitched five innings of shutout baseball, allowing just four hits and striking out five.

Redlands (18-11, 8-5 SCIAC) entertains Caltech tomorrow in an 11 a.m. doubleheader at The Yard.
