WEEK THAT WAS: The Dons fell to No. 25 California on Tuesday afternoon by a score of 5-3. USF outhit Cal 14-7, but stranded 14 runners on base in their first road loss of the season. After that, USF played four games in four days in the Aztec Invitational, going 1-3 in the tournament. The Dons’ lone win againt Northridge proved to be Coach Giarratano’s 374th WCC victory, most in USF history. The Dons commited 14 errors and stranded 47 baserunners in the tournament, which lead directly to their three losses. THIS WEEK: USF hosts the Pacific Tigers for a Tuesday matinee at 2:00 p.m. Andrew Pulido gets his second-ever start for the Green & Gold. From there, San Francisco travels to Fresno to face the Bulldogs in a four-game set. The Bulldogs beat No. 1 Stanford in the first game of their three-game series against the Cardinal, but dropped the next two by a combined scored of 25-2. LOOKING AHEAD: Next week the Dons play five straight road games as they head to Davis to take on the Aggies then fly to Honolulu for a four-game set. GIARRATANO MILESTONE: With Friday’s win against Northridge, Head Coach Nino Giarrtano surpassed Legend of The Hilltop and former USF baseball coach, Dante Benedetti with 374 career WCC coaching victories. Giarratano now sits in sole possesion of 6th place on the All-Time WCC Coaching Victories list and is now the winningest baseball coach in San Francisco Dons history. 2012 DANTE BENEDETTI CLASSIC: USF will meet league rival University of San Diego in the Seventh Annual Dante Benedetti Baseball Classic on Saturday, March 31st, 2012 at 10:30 AM at AT&T Park in San Francisco. Tickets for the DBC are $10 each and can be purchased online at http://dantebenedetticlassic.eventbrite.com. LIVE VIDEO/RADIO/STATS: http://client.stretchinternet.com/client/usf.portal#
