Stockton, California - Junior Patrick Kucich's three-under 68 was the lone bright spot for the Tigers during the second round of the Pacific Invitational on Tuesday afternoon. Pacific moved to seventh place with a 284 while Ben Bauch, Kucich and Alex Johnson all stayed within the top 15.

While tournament leader Oregon, UC Davis and Fresno State all climbed up the leaderboard behind marquee performances from their top players the Tigers simply maintained their score relative to par and subsequently moved down the leaderboard to seventh place.

Bauch opened with a 66 but was four-over after nine holes Tuesday afternoon before key birdies and a 20-foot putt on 18 got him back to 72 for the day and in 10th place for the tournament.
