The 17th-ranked UC San Diego baseball team is back at home this week following a season-long six-game road stretch during which it went 4-2. The first-place Tritons (22-9, 18-5 CCAA) will take on Cal Poly Pomona (22-8, 14-6 CCAA), ranked 20th and tied for second in the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA), in a four-game, split-venue series beginning Thursday in La Jolla. First pitch that night at Triton Ballpark is set for 6 p.m., with junior ace Justin Donatella (6-1, 0.61 ERA) slated to take the hill. Game two on Friday is again at home in primetime at 6 p.m. The series then shifts to Pomona on Saturday, April 4, and concludes with a doubleheader starting at 12 p.m. at Scolinos Field ahead of the Easter holiday. A seven-inning nightcap will follow approximately 30-40 minutes after a regulation nine-inning game. The Tritons begin a second straight week alone in first place atop the 11-team CCAA standings, now two and a half games clear of CPP and Cal State L.A. UCSD is 13-5 at home and 9-4 on the road.

THE NEW TRITON BALLPARK
Triton Ballpark on East Campus at UCSD has a brand-new look outside the foul lines in 2015. The extensive renovation was completed enough for competition to take place as scheduled with an Opening Day doubleheader on Sunday, Feb. 1. Some of the main features include a permanent grandstand to seat just over 500, a press box, new sunken dugouts, an area for food trucks, and restrooms, among several other amenities. Read details here. Arguably the crown jewel of the project, the Marye Anne Fox Clubhouse down the right field line, was introduced to the players on March 17. Watch a clip here. The official dedication will take place on April 10 at 5:45 p.m. The first pitch at the new Triton Ballpark came from Trevor Scott, the first hit and RBI by Brandon Shirley, the first run by Tyler Howsley, and the first home run in the form of a grand slam by Brian Choi. View photo galleries from the ballpark construction here and Opening Day here.

TRITON BASEBALL BACK ON TWITTER
After a hiatus, Triton Baseball has returned to Twitter @UCSDbsb! Be sure to give them a follow. Gameday info and updates will still predominantly come from the official UCSD Athletics Twitter handle @UCSDtritons. The majority of the Triton coaching staff, including head coach Eric Newman (@CoachEricNewman), are also on Twitter. Those links can be found at the bottom.

RANKINGS REPORT
In the four national polls for the NCAA Division II, UCSD is currently rated No. 17 by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper, No. 15 by D2 Baseball News, No. 10 by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA), and No. 14 by Perfect Game. This week's opponent, Cal Poly Pomona, is No. 20, No. 17, No. 23 and No. 8, respectively. The Tritons appeared at No. 15 in CBN's preseason edition. They moved up to a high of No. 10 in the publication's first in-season listing on Feb. 16. Other preseason prognostications were No. 12 by the NCBWA (Jan. 28), No. 16 by D2 Baseball News, and No. 19 by PG (Jan. 29). UCSD's highest ranking in 2015 has been No. 8 by the NCBWA on Feb. 17. Regionally speaking, the Tritons are rated No. 1 in the West by both the NCBWA and D2 Baseball News. CPP is No. 3 in the NCBWA listing and No. 2 in D2 Baseball News.

LAST TIME OUT
UCSD won a tough road series at rival Sonoma State last weekend, three games to one. Justin Donatella (3 H, 2 BB) pitched the Tritons to a 4-3 victory in Friday afternoon's opener with another six shutout innings, matching his season high of 11 strikeouts. UCSD scratched across the contest's first run in the seventh after Donatella had exited, with Zach Friedman's three-run home run, his first as a Triton, procuring a 4-0 advantage. With three runs in and the tying run at second in the last half, shortstop Tyler Howsley's incredible bare-handed play finally secured the win. The teams split Saturday's doubleheader, with UCSD taking a 4-1 decision behind a stellar combined effort on the mound from Alon Leichman (6.0 IP, 6 H, R, 2 BB, 4 K) and Dan Kolodin (3.0, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 K), before SSU rallied late to grab the seven-inning nightcap, 5-3. Troy Cruz (6 H, 3 R, BB, 6 K) went a season-long eight complete frames to help clinch the series triumph in the Sunday finale, as the Tritons overturned a 2-0 first-inning deficit to win by the final score of 4-3. John Erhardt tossed a perfect ninth for his first career save with a pair of called third strikes around another nice play by Howsley.

AROUND THE CCAA
At 18-5 in league play, UCSD is alone in first in the 11-team CCAA standings. This week's opponent, Cal Poly Pomona (22-8, 14-6 CCAA), and Cal State L.A. (19-9, 14-6), are tied for second, behind the Tritons by two and a half games. Another full league slate is on tap this week, beginning Thursday afternoon. Cal State L.A. hosts Chico State in another key four-game set starting Thursday night. Follow all of the action through the CCAA baseball scoreboard. Bookmark it here.

DONATELLA WIN STREAK REACHES SIX
Justin Donatella heads into his next start with an interesting statistical line of being 6-1 on the year with a 0.61 ERA and 61 strikeouts. He has won each of his last six starts, all coming to begin CCAA play. The junior right-hander threw 34.1 straight shutout innings prior to seeing a blooped RBI single drop in to center field with one away in the fourth inning of UCSD's 11-5 home win over Cal State San Bernardino on March 20. The incredible stretch dated back to his second frame of the season during a 2-0 home loss to top-ranked 2014 national runner-up Colorado Mesa in his 2015 debut back on Feb. 6. He had yet to allow a run in 31.2 frames over his first four-plus CCAA starts prior to that fourth-inning single. Of the four runs he has given up, three were earned. Donatella leads the league in wins (tied), ERA and strikeouts. He is up to seventh in the NCAA Division II in ERA, with at least seven innings more than any of the six pitchers in front of him. Donatella is also tied for ninth nationally in wins, tied for 15th in strikeouts, and 15th in WHIP (0.79). Batters are hitting just .159 against him, with no home runs.

LEAGUE-LEADING PITCHING
UCSD continues to boast the best team ERA in the CCAA, and remains fifth in Division II, at 2.45. The Tritons also have a league-leading 252 strikeouts. The starting rotation of Justin Donatella (6-1, 0.61), Alon Leichman (5-0, 2.08), Trevor Scott (4-4, 2.59) and Troy Cruz (5-2, 2.55) all have an ERA of under 3.00 and at least four wins. Donatella paces the CCAA in ERA and strikeouts (61), and is first on the staff with 44.1 innings. The Tritons as a team have issued only 65 walks, the fewest in the league, and have the nation's third-best strikeout-to-walk ratio of 3.88.

LARSEN MVP CANDIDATE
Jack Larsen has produced the opposite of a sophomore slump, as the second-year Triton outfielder has made himself into a legitimate MVP candidate in the CCAA. After finishing the 54-game 2014 slate with a .269 batting average, six extra-base hits and 13 RBI, the Mission Viejo product is hitting a team-best .394 with 14 extra-base hits and a team-leading 29 RBI in 2015. He is third in the CCAA in average, tied for second in RBI, tied for third with 10 doubles, and fourth in slugging (.596). In conference games only, Larsen is batting .403 with 22 RBI.

DEFENSIVE UPSWING
UCSD did not commit an error over its recent six-game road stretch. The single-season record for consecutive games without an error for the program's Division II era stands at seven, from March 27 to April 9 of the 2010 campaign, when the Tritons set a Division II record that still stands with a fielding percentage of .984. After a slow start defensively, UCSD is up to third in the CCAA in fielding, now at a .968 clip.

TWO-HEADED MONSTER OUT OF BULLPEN
Fourth-year seniors Dan Kolodin and Chad Rieser have four and three saves, respectively. Kolodin (2-1, 2.67), a right-hander, is second on the staff with 13 appearances, 11 in relief, and is third in strikeouts (37) while fifth in innings (33.2). Rieser (0-0, 3.13 ERA), a left-hander, has made a team-best 15 appearances, tied for 18th in the country, and given up eight runs with 32 strikeouts over 23.0 frames. He struck out the side in order in both the sixth and seventh on Feb. 21 against Cal State Dominguez Hills. On March 7, Rieser saved both ends of a doubleheader sweep at home over rival Chico State, becoming the first Triton to achieve the feat since Kolodin in another home sweep against SF State on April 6, 2013.

MANN ALIVE
Senior first baseman Michael Mann has been on a tear after a slow start to his final collegiate campaign. He held a .200 batting average following the 6-2 loss at Azusa Pacific on Feb. 24. Since then, Mann is hitting .478 (22-for-46), with six multi-hit efforts in 13 appearances, to increase his average to .341, third on the team. During this stretch, the Orinda native produced a 5-for-5 showing in the series finale at Cal State East Bay on March 1. Over the course of the 2013, 2014 and 2015 seasons, there have only been two five-hit efforts by a Triton, both from Mann. The Division II-era single-game program record is six hits. Mann also went 4-for-5 on Feb. 28 at East Bay.

SHUTOUTS ON SHUTOUTS
With a 6-0 victory to open its series with Chico State on March 6, UCSD has seven shutouts in 2015 through 27 games, having produced seven a year ago in 54. Seven is the program's most in the NCAA Division II era since 2001. The Tritons are tied for second nationally in Division II with Virginia State, behind only Franklin Pierce (9). In completing back-to-back-to-back shutouts to begin its series with Cal State Dominguez Hills, Feb. 19-21, UCSD achieved the feat of three straight shutouts for the first time in program history, dating back through the 1980 season. The Tritons on five previous occasions had posted two successive shutouts, most recently at home to start off the 2014 series with the Toros, on March 6 (1-0) and March 7 (7-0).

CRUZ OVER TO FIRST BASE
Junior All-American Troy Cruz has drawn 26 walks this season, tied for 10th nationally and still first in the CCAA. UCSD comfortably leads the CCAA in walks as a team (159), and is third in the country. Tritons take up four of the top six spots in the conference in walks, with Erik Lewis (22), Jack Larsen (21) and Justin Flatt (18) following Cruz. Lewis is tied for 25th nationally. A year ago, it was Nick La Face (47), Lewis (42) and Justin Rahn (35) all ahead of the CCAA pack.

FIFTEEN CCAA SETS WITHOUT A LOSS
UCSD has now gone 15 successive CCAA sets without a series loss, dating back through the 2014 season. In fact, the Tritons have won all five completed CCAA match-ups to begin the 2015 slate, with a sweep of Chico State and four three-games-to-one victories over SF State, Cal State Dominguez Hills, Cal State East Bay and Sonoma State. They still have to complete their four-gamer with Cal State San Bernardino, at home on April 21, leading two games to one. UCSD completed the 2014 CCAA schedule without suffering a series loss, with three sweeps, two 3-1 wins, and four splits. They were last bested 3-1 at Cal State Monterey Bay to end the 2013 campaign. UCSD has still not lost its regular-season four-game set with Chico State since 2007, when it dropped three of four in Chico.

DONNY DONS AWARDS FOR DOMINANT STARTS
Justin Donatella's one-hit shutout at Cal State East Bay on Feb. 27, with a season-high 11 strikeouts on just 98 pitches, earned the junior right-hander both the NCBWA West Region and CCAA Pitcher of the Week nods, each for the first time in his career. Donatella retired the first 14 Pioneers he faced that afternoon, with the home side managing just a two-out single through the left side in the fifth inning, and a leadoff hit-by-pitch in the seventh. Donatella registered eight more outs on grounders, and the other eight on fly balls, also handling all four of his defensive chances cleanly with three assists on comebackers and one putout. Read more here. Donatella's next outing of 7.1 shutout frames with nine strikeouts against Chico State, garnered him a spot among 10 Collegiate Baseball Newspaper National Players of the Week from all levels of college baseball.

PROGRAM FIRST FOR DONATELLA
Justin Donatella's remarkable performance at Cal State East Bay on Feb. 27 marked the first one-hit, nine-inning shutout by an individual Triton pitcher in the Division II era, since 2001. Former standouts Tim Shibuya (7.0 IP) and Elias Tuma (2.0) previously combined on a one-hit, nine-inning shutout in another defeat of Cal State East Bay, 1-0, on Feb. 19, 2011. Five Triton arms teamed up on a nine-inning one-hitter on Feb. 5, 2002, in a 3-1 victory at crosstown rival Point Loma. The only no-hitter for UCSD's Division II days came from Trevor Decker against then-top-ranked Cal State Stanislaus, a 6-0 home triumph in seven innings back on March 14, 2009.

YOUNG OUTFIELD
All but two of the 93 combined starts in the UCSD outfield in 2015 have come from redshirt freshman Justin Flatt, redshirt sophomore Brandon Shirley, and true sophomores Jack Larsen and Christian Leung. Flatt, Shirley and Larsen started left to right in each of the first 17 games this season. Leung's play has earned him seven starts in right field since, with Larsen moving back over to center, where he made all 44 of his starts as a freshman in 2014. The outfielders have combined for eight of the Tritons' 12 home runs, with Flatt and Larsen blasting three apiece. Flatt served as the leadoff hitter for the first six contests, with Shirley taking over at the top of the order for the next 11. Flatt has generated the longest hit streak by a Triton in 2015 with a recent run of nine. He reached base safely in each of the first 12 games. Larsen, who has batted either third or fourth in the lineup, leads the team in average (.394), RBI (29) and multi-hit efforts (11). He is tied for second in the CCAA in RBI, and third in hitting.

VETERAN INFIELD
Over the first 31 games, the Tritons have generally started the same veteran infield. Just like in 2014, it's been Troy Cruz at third base, Erik Lewis at second and Michael Mann at first, with Tyler Howsley, a part-time starter at shortstop as a freshman a year ago, taking over that spot for good. The only exceptions have been at third for the seven games when Cruz has been on the mound, and six starts at first between Zach Friedman and Justin Flatt. Brett Levy has been behind the plate for 18 of the 31 games, with fellow fourth-year senior Brian Choi drawing three starts.

STATISTICAL ODDS AND ENDS
Gradeigh Sanchez has the longest current hit streak by a Triton at a career-best eight ... Sanchez has reached safely in 13 straight, with Justin Flatt's reached-base streak at a team-best 15 ... UCSD is 4-3 against nationally-ranked opponents in 2015, with four straight victories coming in the sweep of then-20th-ranked Chico State, after three successive losses against Colorado Mesa (5) and Azusa Pacific (22) ... The Tritons never trailed during their four-game home sweep over then-20th-ranked archrival Chico State, March 6-8 ... Erik Lewis had his lengthy reached-base streak going back to last season snapped at 40 games on Feb. 28 ... Redshirt freshman catcher Steven Coe has thrown out five out of 11 (.455) would-be base-stealers this season ... Freshman Tyler Plantier has 15 RBI, tied for fourth on the team, over 28 at-bats ... UCSD is 19-2 when scoring first and 6-0 when scoring in the first inning ... The Tritons are 18-1 when out-hitting their opponent, and 20-2 when tallying at least four runs in a contest.

POWER UP
The Tritons hit five home runs during their season-opening four-game series with Western Oregon, having needed 38 contests to achieve that total in 2014. Prior to the 8-3 victory in the nightcap with Western Oregon on Feb. 1, the previous time that UCSD hit three home runs in a single game was a 10-5 loss at Cal Poly Pomona on Feb. 23, 2012. The Tritons have done it twice in 2015, launching three more long balls to open the doubleheader at Cal State East Bay on March 1. Brian Choi's grand slam in that Western Oregon contest was the first by a Triton since Justin Rahn's against CPP in the third inning of a 20-5 triumph during the NCAA West Regional in La Jolla on May 16, 2014. Having finished 2014 with 11 home runs in 54 games, UCSD has 12 through 31 games this season.

HIT-BY-PITCH RECORD
Cal State Dominguez Hills pitchers hit UCSD batters a total of nine times during a 19-0 drubbing in game one of the Feb. 21 doubleheader in La Jolla. That constituted a Triton program record at least for the Division II era (since 2001), and likely all-time. UCSD was plunked seven times in a single game four times prior, in 2007, 2005, 2004 and 2003.

CRUZ A STAR OF THE YEAR
UCSD junior Troy Cruz was named on Jan. 14 as one of eight San Diego Hall of Champions Amateur Stars of the Year for 2014. The local product out of Chula Vista (Bonita Vista HS) was a two-time SDHOC Star of the Month during the 2014 calendar year. He helped guide UCSD to a record sixth CCAA tournament title and into the NCAA postseason, excelling as both an infielder and pitcher. Cruz was recognized at the 69th Annual Salute to the Champions on Feb. 23 at the Town and Country Convention Center. Both he and Triton head coach Eric Newman were in attendance, with Cruz addressing the crowd. Read a Triton Q&A with Cruz here.

TRITON NOTES
Justin Donatella's incredible February (3-1, 0.36 ERA, 33 strikeouts) with a shutout streak of 23.2 innings, earned him a first career San Diego Hall of Champions Star of the Month selection ... Trevor Scott and Jack Larsen were named on Feb. 3 as the 2015 season's first CCAA Baseball Pitcher and Player of the Week, respectively ... Troy Cruz was chosen to the NCBWA Preseason All-America Third Team at the utility spot, with Cruz (first team), Justin Donatella (second) and Erik Lewis (second) each named to NCBWA Preseason All-West Region teams (Jan. 23) ...

Plantier is the son of Phil Plantier, who played eight seasons in Major League Baseball for five franchises, and served as the hitting coach of the hometown San Diego Padres from 2011-14 ... Tyler Howsley, Jack Larsen and Gradeigh Sanchez all played together at Mission Viejo's Capistrano Valley High School.

SCHEDULE BREAKDOWN
UCSD's 2015 schedule consists of 49 regular-season games, including 28 at home within the friendly confines of Triton Ballpark. The Tritons faced CCAA favorite Chico State at home for the second year in a row, sweeping that four-game series between archrivals, March 6-8. UCSD wrapped up a season-opening, season-long 11-game homestand on Feb. 17. The CCAA Championship will be held in the neutral-site city of Stockton for the third year in a row, but after the previous two editions took place at Banner Island Ballpark, the four-team tournament is headed back to Klein Family Field on the campus of the University of the Pacific, May 7-10. It would be a familiar locale for the Tritons, who won their third and fourth CCAA tourney titles back-to-back at the venue when the event was held there previously in 2010 and 2011.

HEAD COACH ERIC NEWMAN
Eric Newman is in his fourth season as the UCSD head coach. The 2012 CCAA Coach of the Year has a 119-73 record (90-49 CCAA) in charge of the Tritons and 214-145 overall in his six-plus seasons as a head coach. Newman guided UCSD to the 2012 CCAA regular-season and tournament titles in his first go-around in La Jolla, and a subsequent trip to the NCAA Division II West Regional. His Tritons won a record sixth conference tourney crown last May in Stockton, to again nab the CCAA's automatic berth into the NCAA Championship. With UCSD earning the region's top seed, Triton Ballpark played host to the 2014 NCAA West Regional. Newman has now led the Tritons to two CCAA banners and two NCAA postseason appearances in his three years, as well as two 30-win campaigns. He previously went 95-72 in three seasons at the helm of Dallas Baptist University from 2005-07.

ABOUT THE BRONCOS
No. 20 Cal Poly Pomona (22-8, 14-6 CCAA) appears in all four national polls, in spots ranging from No. 8 to No. 23. The Broncos are 9-2 at home and 13-6 in road games in 2015. CPP has several CCAA leaders in leadoff man Christian Kelley (.425 batting average), Kyle Garlick (10 home runs) and J.J. Franklin (nine saves). Garlick, the CCAA Player of the Week, is a senior centerfielder and first-year transfer from Division I Oregon who is batting .354, with senior first baseman Nick Cooksey also above .300 at .342. The Broncos have a legitimate professional prospect in junior right-hander Cody Ponce (3-0, 1.17 ERA), who made a name for himself among Major League Baseball circles by being tabbed as the No. 3 prospect in the Cape Cod League last summer. However, Ponce, an Upland product out of Damien High School like UCSD second baseman Erik Lewis, missed more than a month earlier this season, and coming off of a pair of short, pitch-limit outings the last two weeks, is likeliest to start Saturday's seven-inning nightcap in Pomona. Senior right-hander Chris Powell (4-1, 1.48) is thus the favorite to take the ball on Thursday. Junior right-hander Richie McWilliams (1-0, 6.20), a Pierce College transfer like Triton newcomer Zach Friedman, could go Friday. Randy Betten is in his fifth season in charge at Cal Poly Pomona.

SERIES HISTORY
UCSD leads the all-time series between these teams, 38-24, and holds a 20-10 advantage over the last 30 meetings since 2009. The two teams played each other six times a year ago, splitting their regular-season series before the Tritons took a pair of postseason match-ups at the CCAA Championship and the NCAA West Regional. Four of those showdowns were decided in the final inning. Three were of the walk-off variety, with one apiece in Pomona and La Jolla before UCSD, as the designated home team, escaped with a 5-4 victory on an RBI double by Nick La Face with two outs in the 11th inning into the left field corner on the second night of the CCAA tournament in Stockton. The teams have split their four-game sets in each of the past three years, with both sides 3-3 at home and 3-3 on the road. CPP ended UCSD's 2011 season at the West Regional in La Jolla, with the Tritons returning the favor last May 16 through a 22-hit, 20-5 thumping that saw Ponce allow the first eight runs and take the loss. Ponce was 0-2 with a 7.16 ERA in three starts against UCSD in 2014.
