SPOKANE, Wash. — Late-inning comebacks have not been a staple for the Gaels during the 2021 season. With the offense struggling at times, if Saint Mary's allows a handful of runs early, they don't often have the firepower to come from behind. They put those worries to bed on Friday night in a series opener against Gonzaga, scoring seven times in the ninth inning for their first ninth-inning comeback of the season, beating the Bulldogs 10-6 at their place. With the win, Saint Mary's improves to 14-13 (4-6) while dropping the Zags to 17-12 (7-3).
