BASE | UIC Wins in 10th to Take Game Three
MORAGA, Calif. – It was the Gaels' turn to have a comeback in game three of the series with UIC, but the Flames would do the same and win 7-4 in 10 innings on Saturday afternoon.
Saint Mary's fell behind in the third on a solo home run against freshman Jason Reitz, but it would be the only run he'd allow in his collegiate debut. He threw exactly 35 pitches in his first appearance, as the Gaels will use him as an opener early on while the six-foot-nine freshman builds himself back up after Tommy John Surgery.
Own Cuffe would relieve Reitz and have a good outing as well. He would allow a solo home run in the fifth, but the Gaels would answer in the seventh.
