DAVIS ? UC Irvine’s recent trend of strong starting pitching continued Saturday as the Anteaters utilized 7 2/3 quality innings from freshman Scott Gorgen to earn a 4-2 nonconference baseball win over UC Davis.

Gorgen allowed six hits, two earned runs and struck out six to improve to 6-2. Kyle Necke pitched a perfect 1 1/3 innings for his fourth save.
