The current squad managed a pair of first inning runs on a Riley Kasper single and a double Alumni Weekend - January 25 play.

2020 UC Irvine Baseball Game Notes This Date in Anteater History

March 13 UC Irvine played an exhibition game against L.A. Baptist. Ben Wetzler got the start and Skip Redondo relieved him each getting four innings of work combining on a 2-hitter. Wetzler set a good pace with nine strikeouts, but Re- dondo bested him striking out 11 of his 12 outs. The total of 20 strikeouts still stands as the most in an Anteater game. 1971

Eric Pettis battled through 8 innings at Sacramento State allowing 3 March 14 runs, 1 earned, but found himself behind, 3-2, as the ninth started. UCI was down to its final out before stringing together 3 straight singles and tying it up. Pettis emerged from the dugout to finish up the ninth which he did as the game spilled over into extras. Ryan Fisher gave Pettis life with a HR to start the inning, and a perfect frame from Kyle Necke nailed down the 4-3 win and gave Pettis the victory after 121 pitches 2010

March 15 UCI and LBSU bounced the lead back and forth throughout the game, but the Anteaters entered the ninth with an 8-5 lead. That evaporated on Don Blankenship’s fourth hit of the game, a 3-run triple tying things at 8-8. The ‘Eaters quickly responded walking things off in the bottom half as a single, error, walk, sac bunt, and sac fly from Mike Sugar brought home the winner, 9-8 1985

It played out as any other game, ‘Eaters at Utah Valley on a Saturday. A couple March 16 runs early on had Utah Valley up 2-1. They added 2 more in the 7th and UCI coun- tered. Down 4-3 heading into the ninth, UCI took desperate measures needing a run by any means possible. Christian Koss led off with a single and reached third base on a pickoff thrown up the line. Brendan Brooks lifted a sac fly to tie things up. UCI threatened further loading the bases, but failed to score sending the game to the 10th. And what a 10th it was. The first 8 Anteaters reached base capped by a Mikey Filia grand slam to make it 12-4. The Anteaters weren’t done as Brooks came up and obliterated a ball into the campus fountain. When all was said and done, UCI put up a program record 13 runs in the 10th inning to save the game and win, 17-4. 2019

He primarily with hitters and outfielders during the always had the time and he invested in me as a 1988-92 seasons. young coach. He is a legend and will be missed. His impact will never be forgotten.” - Head Coach Ben Orloff Honoring Chancellor Ralph J. Cicerone

Ralph J. Cicerone became the university’s fourth Chancellor in 1998, and with it, he brought his passion for athletics and baseball. The department was without a baseball program after it was cut following the 1992 season. In the spring of 1999, a grass-roots effort between Cicerone, athletic director Dan Guerrero, and five captains from UC Irvine athletic programs issued a referendum for students to vote to acquire the funding to bring baseball back to UC Irvine. Following its approval, ground was broken on Anteater Ballpark January 25, 2001. Anteater baseball was up and running in 2002, and has returned to its rightful place among the top programs in the nation.

Among being a leading expert on the causes of global climate change and heading the National Academy of Sciences which helped advise the Obama administration, Cicerone never lost his passion for baseball. Even as an established professor in 1980, he got the chance to be an announcer for the San Diego Padres leaving him with a tough decision on which avenue to pursue. While stationed in Washington D.C., Cicerone would stay connect- ed to the program even stopping by to check in on the facilities.

In May of 2009, Cicerone and the ballpark became one-in-the-same as he was honored by having the field named in his honor. Following Chancellor Cicero- ne’s passing in November of 2016, the team added patches on the sleeves of their uniforms to commemorate Cicerone marked with his initials “RC” that were worn through the 2017 and 2018 seasons. The Anteaters are forever indebted to Chancellor Cicerone’s vision and efforts.

“UCI baseball held a special place in the heart of Chancellor Ralph Cicerone. It may surprise some to know that among Chancellor Cicerone’s many interests, achievements, and accomplishments, he had a genuine love for baseball, and specifically UCI baseball. It was because of Chancellor Cicerone’s determination to resurrect baseball at UCI in the late 90s that he enlisted the support of others in the athletic department and among the students, and a successful referendum was brought to the students and passed allowing baseball to once again be played at UCI after a 10-year absence. The number of students and staff impacted for a lifetime by this successful effort is incalculable.

Even after Ralph left UCI to assume new duties in Washington D.C., he continued to closely follow Anteater baseball via the internet and personal contact with friends who also cared about the ‘Eaters. On his occasional trips back to Orange County, he without fail stopped by Cicerone Field to check in, lend his support, and he rarely missed an Alumni Game in early February. We all lost a great friend in Ralph Cicerone, he is missed, and will continue to be missed.” - Head Coach Mike Gillespie
