The CSM baseball team nearly pulled off a remarkable comeback in an 8-6 loss to Solano.
The Bulldogs (3-3) trailed by eight runs Saturday at Bulldog Field but started chipping away in the middle innings. Then a two-out rally in the bottom of the ninth saw CSM get the potential winning run on base. The rally was sparked by a Draco Roberts double. CSM then loaded the bases on back-to-back walks before a fly out to right field ended it.
Starting pitcher Matt Gorgolinski took the loss. The freshman’s record falls to 0-1.
The loss snaps the Bulldogs’ three-game winning streak. They previously won at Solano (3-2) Thursday 7-4 backed by starting pitcher Sam Hellinger’s first victory of the year.
