SPOKANE, Wash. — Gonzaga baseball put up 10 runs between the fifth and sixth innings on the way to a 15-3 win over San Diego on Saturday night at Patterson Baseball Complex and Coach Steve Hertz Field.

Already leading 5-3 in the sixth, Gonzaga batted around and scored six runs in the inning before scoring four more in the seventh to take a big lead.

"This was a great team response after a disappointing outcome on Friday night," head coach Mark Machtolf said. "We are looking forward to a huge Sunday battle."

The Zags got a solid effort on the mound from starter Daniel Naughton and the bullpen. Naughton went 3.0 innings and gave up two runs on two hits with one strikeout. Trent Schulte, Michael Spellacy and Justin Blatner then pitched 2.0 innings apiece and combined to give up just one run on one hit.

Centerfielder Guthrie Morrison did the most damage on offense, going 4-for-6 with five RBI and a run scored. Ernie Yake, Austin Pinorini, Brett Harris, Mason Marenco and Daniel Fredrickson each had two hits, while Fredrickson, Jack Machtolf and Troy Johnston each had two RBI in the game.

San Diego jumped out to a 2-0 lead with a home run in the top of the third, but Gonzaga answered three in the home half of the inning and never relinquished the lead the rest of the night. In that inning, Yake and Morrison each knocked home a run.

GU added two more in the fourth with a two-RBI single by Machtolf, but the bulk of the offense then came in the sixth and the seventh. Morrison had two RBI on a single in the fifth and two more on a single in the sixth. Fredrickson and Johnston each also had an RBI in both innings.

The Zags and Toreros will wrap up the series on Sunday at 1 p.m. in Spokane, Wash. Links to live coverage are available at GoZags.com.
