The Spartans drew seven of those walks \u2013 six in the second inning alone. Dylan Jackson&#8217;s two-run, two-out single in the top of the first put San Jose State up 2-0. Santa Clara responded with four two-out runs of its own in the bottom half.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\u00a0&#13;<br \/>\n\tSCU&#8217;s first-inning rally was put on hiatus for 22 minutes as heavy rain covered the ballpark. When it finally cleared, <a href=\"https:\/\/santaclarabroncos.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/ben-cleary\/8661\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"8661\" target=\"_blank\">Ben Cleary<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/santaclarabroncos.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/johnny-luetzow\/8676\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"8676\" target=\"_blank\">Johnny Luetzow<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/santaclarabroncos.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/tate-medicoff\/9034\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"9034\" target=\"_blank\">Tate Medicoff<\/a> each drew walks to load the bases. <a href=\"https:\/\/santaclarabroncos.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/will-anderson\/9673\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"9673\" target=\"_blank\">Will Anderson&#8217;s<\/a> infield single and an SJSU throwing error tied the game at 2-2, and <a href=\"https:\/\/santaclarabroncos.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/hunter-fujimoto\/9683\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"9683\" target=\"_blank\">Hunter Fujimoto&#8217;s<\/a> first career hit \u2013 a full-count, two-run single \u2013 gave the Broncos a 4-2 lead.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\u00a0&#13;<br \/>\n\tThe teams&#8217; first two turns at-bat saw three ties and two lead changes. San Jose State scored three times without a hit in the second inning to go up, 5-4. The Broncos came back with a single run in the bottom of the fifth on <a href=\"https:\/\/santaclarabroncos.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/max-ross\/9032\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"9032\" target=\"_blank\">Max Ross&#8217;<\/a> RBI double to tie it at 5-5.

His towering sky-scraping fly ball carried all the way to the fence, but barely glanced off it and stayed in the ballpark, giving him a one-out double. Anderson drove home the eventual game-winning run four pitches later on an opposite-field single. <a href=\"https:\/\/santaclarabroncos.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/camden-sos\/9586\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"9586\" target=\"_blank\">Camden Sos<\/a> gave the Broncos more insurance two batters later with a two-out RBI single, scoring Anderson who earlier had stolen second.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\u00a0&#13;<br \/>\n\tSanta Clara pitchers struck out 12 Spartans Wednesday, two days after striking out 13 batters against California. <a href=\"https:\/\/santaclarabroncos.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/henry-stewart\/8683\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"8683\" target=\"_blank\">Henry Stewart<\/a> recorded all his outs on four strikeouts, including three in the first inning. <a href=\"https:\/\/santaclarabroncos.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/trevor-banning\/9691\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"9691\" target=\"_blank\">Trevor Banning<\/a> made his collegiate debut with 2 2\/3 shutout innings and four Ks. <a href=\"https:\/\/santaclarabroncos.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/tyler-alleman\/8658\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"8658\" target=\"_blank\">Tyler Alleman<\/a> earned his first career save with two strikeouts in two shutout innings of work to close out the game.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\u00a0&#13;<br \/>\n\tAnderson (3 for 4) and Ross (3 for 5) each had three hits and two RBIs to lead Santa Clara. Jake McCoy (2 for 4) and JC Osorio-Agard (2 for 5) had two hits apiece for San Jose State. Luca Staiano (0-1) took the loss, allowing two runs on two hits in 1\/3 of an inning.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>NOTABLE NUMBERS<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t3: The Broncos&#8217; pitching staff has recorded double-digit strikeouts in three consecutive games.
