WEEK THAT WAS: The Dons went 1-1 in their midweek games against Cal and San Francisco State. USF dropped a close game against the Golden Bears on Tuesday, narrowly losing, 4-3. The Dons bounced back with a victory against intracity San Francisco State on Wednesday, 8-7. The win against the Gators snapped a four-game skid for the Dons. Matt Chavez hit a two-run home run, his first of the year and Logan West won his first collegiate game, pitching three innings of one-run ball in relief. THIS WEEK: USF now welcomes Big West power UC Santa Barbara for a three-game weekend set starting with the Dons’ first doubleheader of the season on Saturday, March 24. The Saturday games have been moved to Laney College in Oakland due to weather concerns. Game one of the doubleheader starts at 12:00 pm, while the second game will start approimately 30 minutes after the conclusion of game one. Sunday’s game is still temporarily scheduled for Bendetti Diamond and a 1:00 p.m. start. LOOKING AHEAD: After playing the Gauchos, USF will host Sacramento State on Wednesday, March 28 for a single game and then kick off conference play against rival San Diego starting on Friday, March 30 at 3:00 p.m. at Benedetti Diamond. GIARRATANO MILESTONE: With the March 2nd 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 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.
