The University of Idaho club baseball team
failed to complete a three-game sweep of in-state rival Boise
State University Saturday afternoon at Guy Wicks Field, dropping
the final contest 11-8 after defeating the Broncos twice on Saturday.
The Vandals, who lead the Big Sky Conference with a 9-2 record,
lost despite going on a five-run scoring spree in the bottom
of the ninth inning. The Vandals managed three more hits than
the Broncos, including three from Colby Sattler. However, UI's
undoing very well may have fallen on its hefty 10 walks allowed
and four errors on the day.
BSU rode the coattails of pitcher Kip Davis, who got the job
done both on the mound and at the plate. Davis pitched eight
innings, striking out four batters while walking just four. He
also did quite a bit of damage in the batter's box, scoring three
runs, drawing two walks and knocking in two RBIs by way of a
monstrous home run.
The Broncos got out to a quick two-run lead in the first inning
thanks to two UI errors. On the other side, the Vandals got off
to a slow start at the plate, scattering just five hits and zero
runs in the first five innings.
Meanwhile, BSU crossed the plate four more times through the
first five innings, including three RBI singles in the fifth
frame.
The Vandals finally got things going in the sixth inning with
a pair of RBI singles. However, UI entered the bottom of the
ninth inning with an 11-3 deficit.
That's when the fireworks began. UI batted around in the ninth
frame, exploding for five runs, two of which came off a Kevin
Jeffries double. The BSU lead proved too difficult to overcome,
though, as UI came up three runs short.
Jeffries led UI's offensive output with three RBIs, one run and
one double. Mike Holloway went 2 for 4 with a triple and two
walks for the Vandals.
UI plays three games this weekend against Western Washington
University in Bellingham, Wash.
