Titans Lose to No. 1 Seed UC Santa Barbara in Game Two of Big West Championship

Postgame Press Conference

IRVINE, Calif. – Cal State Fullerton lost to No. 1 seed UC Santa Barbara by a final score of 7-4 Thursday afternoon at Cicerone Field in game two of The Big West Championship. With the loss the Titans will have to battle back from the losers bracket in the double elimination format. 

UC Santa Barbara got out to an early lead, scoring three runs in the first inning and three in the second to go up 6-0. 

Bobby Mahoney pitched four shutout innings in relief to save the Titans bullpen going forward in the tournament. Mahoney gave up just one hit in four innings of relief. 

Fullerton was shutout until the seventh inning when Max Ortega hit a single to right field to bring home Cameron Kim and cut the deficit to 6-1. 

UC Santa Barbara answered with one run in the bottom of the seventh inning to retake a six-run lead, 7-1. 

Kim got the Titans right back in the game with a three-run home run in the top of the eighth inning for his sixth home run of the season. Nick Miller hit a one-out single before an Esteban Olazaba walk put runners on base for Kim. 

The Titans got the tying run to the plate in the top of the ninth inning with two outs but were unable to put more pressure on UCSB, leaving two runners stranded to end the game. 

Fullerton is back in action Friday night in an elimination game against the loser of No. 2 Cal Poly and No. 3 UC San Diego. First pitch is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. at Cicerone Field.
