SAN DIEGO, CA = Behind a perfect 4-for-4 day at the plate by Payton Knowles, Seattle U baseball took down San Diego, 11-6, Saturday night. The Redhawks outhit the Toreros 17-7 on their way to the series win.
Despite jumping out to an early 2-run lead in the top of the 2nd, the Redhawks found themselves down by four heading into the top of the 4th. They would then go on to score nine unanswered runs to rally and take the game.
Knowles finished his perfect day at the plate with three extra base hits and drove in a season-high four runs. Royce Hale and Jake Beauchaine both had home runs, while Brandon Stinnett, Kenneth Rhein, and Tyler Horner also drove in runs.

They will try to make it back-to-back conference series sweeps in game three tomorrow, with Micah Hagler scheduled to make the start.
