Baseball Recap: San Clemente's Loss Ends Five-Game Winning Streak on the Road

San Clemente dropped their record down to 18-10 on Saturday, which also ended the team's five-game streak of wins on the road. They fell just short of the Dana Hills Dolphins by a score of 5-4. The Tritons were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Dolphins apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in February of 2019.

San Clemente saw six different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Bob Erspamer, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one run.

As for Dana Hills, their victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 11-13-1. The home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.0 runs over those games.

On Dana Hills' side, Ryan See made a splash no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. See has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up a single hit in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with two doubles and one run. Those two doubles gave him a new career-high.

In other pitching news, Dana Hills got a great performance from Gavin Giese as he pitched 4.1 innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off six hits. Giese also tossed a walk, which is notable because the Dolphins are 4-1 when he allows at most one walk, but 7-12-1 otherwise.

Back at the plate, Brad Lewis was excellent, going a perfect 1-for-1 with two RBI, one run, and one double. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in March. Ryan Georgia also deserves some recognition as he scored his first run of the season.

San Clemente does not have any more games scheduled as of now. As for Dana Hills, they will welcome Foothill at 3:15 p.m. on Monday. The Knights' pitching crew has only allowed 2.9 runs per game this season, so the Dolphins' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
