MORAGA, Calif. — The Saint Mary's baseball team took one step closer to the West Coast Conference tournament Friday on the heels of grand slams from Kevin Milam and Jackson Thoreson, taking the series opener over rival Santa Clara 13-7 at Louis Guisto Field.
The Gaels have hit five grand slams over the course of the year. Friday's slams from Milam and Thoreson weighed the biggest, though, in terms of postseason chances. But for the duo, it was just another at-bat on just another day.
“It was just a matter of doing what we've tried to do all season,” said Thoreson, who went 2 for 4 on the day.
