If you’re looking for an up and coming collegiate baseball program that will continually battle, look no further than the beautiful rolling hills of Moraga.

It took guts and some deep digging, but Anthony Villa’s two-run homerun in game one and Johnny York’s clean cut performance from the mound in game two propelled second place Saint Mary’s (15-10, 6-3 WCC) to its first series win over Santa Clara since 2013 this past weekend at Stephen Schott Stadium.

Villa went 2-5 Friday evening with three runs batted in, two of which came from of his tie-breaking homerun to put the Gaels ahead for good.
