Going into the 2019 season, the UCSB baseball team had not won a Big West Championship for 30 years, but the Gauchos have quickly become accustomed to lifting that once elusive trophy.
After Saturday’s conference-clinching victory over UC Riverside, the Gauchos have now won two of the last three Big West Championships and show no signs of slowing down going into the final series of the regular season at Cal State Bakersfield this weekend.
“They’ve had a heck of a run,” said head coach Andrew Checketts of his team just moments before he was drenched by Gatorade in celebration on Saturday. “Three really good seasons with a chance to win 40 games.”
