STOCKTON, Calif. – Junior
Levi Sotomayor played hero for the Pacific baseball program on Sunday afternoon, driving in the game-winning run to earn a 3-2 victory in ten innings over Utah Valley at Klein Family Field.
In what was just his second at-bat of his Division I career, Sotomayor's first Pacific hit was roped down the right field line, scoring senior
Grant MacArthur from first base to push the Tigers (2-2) past the Wolverines (2-2) in the series finale.
Sunday's victory marks the first time the Tigers completed a walk-off victory in extra innings since April 20, 2024, when Pacific defeated LMU by a 4-3 score in ten innings.

Dylan McShane made his Pacific debut as the starting pitcher, striking out three Wolverine batters in 3.1 innings.
UVU opened the scoring with a lead-off solo home run on the second pitch of the day and tacked on a run in the top of fourth inning to hold a 2-0 early lead.
The bats were quiet for most of the game for Pacific until the seventh inning where the Tigers rallied for a two-run spot. Small ball proved effective for the Tigers in the frame as senior
Rylan Evans earned an RBI walk. MacArthur would later score in the inning on a wild pitch to tie the contest up at 2-2.
In the bottom of the tenth inning, MacArthur drew a two-out walk, setting up Sotomayor's walk-off smash to secure the 3-2 win.
Taking the final two games and settling for a series split, the Tigers now have an 8-6 all-time record against the Wolverines.
Pacific will continue its season-opening homestand, welcoming Utah Tech for a three-game series next week at Klein Family Field, beginning at 6 p.m. on Thursday.
