Berkeley, Calif. - The Pacific baseball team dropped at 3-1 decision at California on Friday, Mar. 17. With the loss the Tigers fell to 11-7 on the season, while Cal improved to 11-8.

Cal starter Brandon Morrow held the Tigers to just one run in 8.1 innings of work, but left the game after the Tigers pushed a run across in the ninth inning.

The Tigers loan run came on a sacrifice fly by senior John DeVany (Danville, Calif.) in the top of the ninth after senior Ramon Glasgow (Stockton, Calif.) doubled and sophomore Brett Manning (Boulder, Col.) walked. Both runners then advanced on a wild pitch. After the sacrifice fly, the Tigers loaded the bases with a pair of walks, but the Tigers could not push any more runs across.
