Cal tops UCI

The UC Irvine baseball team was shut out for the fifth time this

season, dropping a 2-0 nonconference decision at UC Berkeley Sunday.

The Anteaters (9-14) managed four hits and received four walks and

two hit batsmen, but failed to score, allowing the Golden Bears to

capture the series, 2-1.

Freshman first baseman Matt Falk went 2 for 4 for the Anteaters,

while sophomore third baseman Brett Dalton and sophomore right

fielder Jordan Szabo also had singles for the visitors.

UCI starter Michael Koehler yielded both runs to pick up his

second loss in three decisions, though Cal managed just four hits.

UCI’s Steve Schroer threw four shutout innings of one-hit relief.

Cal improved to 13-9.
