THIS WEEK: After falling in a nail biter to San Jose State, 6-5, Tuesday afternoon, the Dons are set to play their first West Coast Conference road games of the 2012 season against the Portland Pilots. USF will square off against the Pilots (16-7, 3-3 WCC) in a Thursday, April 5, doubleheader starting at 12:00 pm. The two teams will wrap up the series in a Saturday finale at 1:00 pm. WEEK THAT WAS: The Dons went 1-3 last weekend to finish 14-16 heading into the first week of April. USF dropped a close game against Sacramento State on Tuesday, 3-1, before welcoming No. 24 San Diego to town. The Toreros took the first two games of the series, but USF won the series finale on Sunday, silencing the San Diego bats in a 1-0 shutout victory. Abe Bobb and Elliott Waterman combined to shut down the Toreros for just the second time all season. LOOKING AHEAD: After playing the Pilots, USF will stay in the state of Oregon to face University of Oregon for two non-conference games. The Dons will square off against the Ducks on Monday, April 9 and Tuesday, April 10 before heading to Loyola Marymount for another three-game weekend WCC series. 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. LIVE VIDEO/AUDIO/STATS: http://client.stretchinternet.com/client/usf.portal#
