All times Pacific time Home games in BOLD, unless otherwise noted, played at Bannerwood Park ( th Ave SE, Bellevue, WA 98005) ROAD EXPERIENCE: After opening the 2012 season at home, Seattle University hits the road for the first time this season, but the first road game will actually be a shorter trip for the Redhawks than the drive to their home games. Seattle U heads to Montlake to face the Washington Huskies in the first of a three-game series throughout the season. The Redhawks then make the first of two trips to the Sacramento area this season, facing the Hornets of Sacramento State in a threegame series. THE UTAH VALLEY SERIES: For the first time since the reestablishment of the program, the Seattle U baseball team won its season opener, starting the 2012 campaign with an 8-2 victory over Utah Valley last Friday. Seafth Howe pitched eight strong innings, giving up only three hits, two walks, and one run while striking out two batters. Howe threw 96 pitches, 64 of them for strikes, and set down 17 of the final 18 batters he faced in the game. Sean Narby led the team offensively with a 4-for-5 performance, while Bryndon Ecklund went 3-for-5, including a home run, and Marcelino Morales was 2-for-2 with a sacrifice bunt, plus he was hit by a pitch. Saturday s scheduled game was rained out, forcing the two teams to play a doubleheader Sunday. Utah Valley s offense kicked into gear in the first game of Sunday s twinbill, scoring 15 runs on 16 hits in seven innings on its way to a 15-2 victory. Mason Stidham was one bright spot for the Redhawks, pitching two innings of one-hit relief in his first collegiate appearance. The Wolverines continued their hot hitting in the first inning of the second game, scoring three runs off Redhawk starter Bryan Dalton before the senior settled down. Grant Gunning pitched two innings of one-hit ball to keep Seattle U within striking distance. The Redhawk bats finally woke up in the seventh inning, with Doug Kincaid launching a grand slam over the right field wall to give the home team a 5-4 lead. Nate Roberts added a bases-clearing double in the eighth inning, as the Redhawks needed all the insurance they got. Utah Valley fought back with three runs in the top of the ninth inning, but Blaine Jones was able to induce two groundouts and a flyout to end the game in Seattle U s favor, 9-7. Riley Tompkins led the Redhawks with a 3-for-4 performance, scoring twice in the game.
