UC Irvine baseball fails to capitalize on chances in NCAA regional loss
Briefly

UC Irvine's Jacob McCombs emerged as a standout player, demonstrating skill during a critical moment with a strategic bunt. Despite McCombs' efforts and an ace performance from Trevor Hansen, the Anteaters fell short in a tight match against Arizona State, losing 4-2. They could only muster two runs and five hits throughout the game. As a result, UC Irvine faces an uphill battle in the Los Angeles Regional, now relegated to the losers bracket where they must win four consecutive games to reach the NCAA super regionals.
"When his team needed it, one of its stars stepped up. McCombs' small-ball heroics were for naught as the Anteaters fell to Arizona State."
"UC Irvine moves to the losers bracket where it'll face fourth-seed Fresno State at noon Saturday, needing to win out for a chance at the NCAA super regionals."
