The UC San Diego Tritons fell to the Western Michigan Broncos, ending the Tony Gwynn Weekend series with a 5-2 score. The Tritons (2-4) struggled offensively with only four hits and left 10 runners on base. Gabe Camacho contributed significantly with a two-run homer, but the team couldn't recover from a pivotal three-run fifth inning by the Broncos (2-4). Starting pitcher Austin Bowker and Nathan Ries combined for impressive strikeout performances, but the Tritons' lack of execution in crucial moments led to their defeat.

By the Numbers
  • Gabe Camacho hit his third home run of the season, bringing his total to two RBIs in the game.
  • Nathan Ries struck out seven batters, finishing one short of his career-high during his 4 1/3 innings.
State of Play
  • The Tritons managed to take a brief lead, 2-1, after a strong third inning.
  • Despite multiple chances with the bases loaded in the sixth and seventh innings, UC San Diego could not capitalize.
What's Next

The Tritons are set to face the University of San Diego in a midweek matchup. They will also begin a challenging stretch of 10 consecutive road games following this matchup.

Bottom Line
