College Roundup:

DAVIS — After a first-pitch hiccup, UC Irvine senior pitcher Christian Bergman was perfect leading the Anteaters’ baseball team to a 13-0 Big West Conference road win over UC Davis Saturday.

Bergman allowed a leadoff single to Daniel Cepin, who was then caught trying to steal. Bergman retired the next 26 he faced, using just 89 pitches to record the Anteaters’ first shutout of the season.

It was the first shutout of his UCI career for Bergman, who struck out six to help the Anteaters improve to 23-13, 7-4 in conference. He lowered his earned-run average from 5.44 to 4.62.

UCI gave Bergman plenty of offensive support, including 10 extra-base hits in their 15-hit attack.

Seven Anteaters had doubles, including two apiece from Casey Stevenson and Jeff Cusick.

Brian Hernandez had a triple and a double and drove in a team-best three runs.

Stevenson and Cusick each drove in two runs as did Ronnie Shaeffer, who was one for two.

UCI pitchers have held UC Davis (16-18, 2-6) to four hits and one run in two games.

The series concludes today at 1 p.m.

It was the first UCI shutout since a 1-0 win over Nevada on March 30 last season, a span of 70 games.
