THIS WEEK: After sweeping No. 30 Gonzaga over the weekend, San Francisco lost a midweek tilt to UC Davis, 5-2. San Francisco will now welcome WCC newcomer BYU for a three-game set starting on Thursday, April 26, at 3:00 p.m. The Cougars joined the WCC this season and are 17-15 overall with an impressive 6-3 WCC mark. The Cougars lost to No. 9 Stanford on Tuesday, 10-9. The two teams will conclude the series on Saturday at 1:00 p.m after playing Game Two on Friday at 3:00 p.m. at Benedetti Diamond. WEEK THAT WAS: The Dons went 3-1 last week from April 17-22, sweeping WCC rival No. 30 Gonzaga. After dropping a non-conference game against Nevada, USF got hot at the right time, sweeping Gonzaga in a three-game set - 4-3, 2-1, and 7-4 - over the weekend. In the series, USF received dominant starting pitching from Kyle Zimmer on Friday and Alex Balog on Saturday. Dons’ closer Elliott Waterman registered three consecutive saves, without allowing a single run in 2.1 innings pitched, earning WCC Rawlings Pitcher of the Week honors for his performance. LOOKING AHEAD: After playing BYU, USF will hit the road to play Sacramento State on May 1, before traveling to Pepperdine for a three-game WCC set starting on May 4 at 3:00 p.m. LIVE VIDEO/AUDIO/STATS: http://client.stretchinternet.com/client/usf.portal#
