(Santa Maria, CA) Despite three hits each from freshmen Colby Barrick and Colton Studebaker, the Allan Hancock College baseball team fell 12-4 at home to Santa Barbara City in a Western Conference game on Tuesday afternoon. The Bulldogs dropped their eighth straight conference game to fall to 3-9 in league and 6-16 overall. The Vaqueros, who are ranked fifth in the Southern California Regional, improved to 8-4 in conference and 15-5 for the season. 
Barrick (pictured above), a Santa Ynez High School graduate, went three for four with two runs and two RBI. He clubbed his first collegiate home run in the seventh, the team's first long ball of the season. He also legged out a triple.
Studebaker had three hits in five at-bats, including a RBI-single in the third to score Barrick.
Shortstop Ellis Gerussi-Turner went two for four for Hancock with a run-scoring double in the fifth to drive in Pioneer Valley High School graduate Angel Guillen.
The Vaqueros got to Hancock starting pitcher Lucas Martin for one in the second before they knocked the sophomore out of the game with six runs in the third. The Lompoc High School graduate was charged with seven earned runs and allowed eight hits in two and one-third innings. He struck out three and dropped to 1-3 on the season.
John Thomas allowed one run and five hits in 1 2/3 innings of relief, while Diego Rodriguez walked both hitters he faced who eventually came around to score. Freshman Skylar Bischoff threw five solid innings of relief for Hancock allowing two runs and four hits with three strikeouts.
The Vaqueros racked up 17 hits as six players had two hits apiece. Righetti High School grad Cam Jones legged out a two-run triple to start a six-run third for SBCC. The designated hitter went one for three with three RBI, the last one came on a sacrifice fly in the fifth.
Lucas Jacobsen earned the win for the Vaqueros. He struck out 10 in six innings to improve to 4-2. He scattered six hits, one walk and allowed two runs.
The Bulldogs start the second half of conference on Thursday, March 19, at home against Ventura at 2:30 p.m. Hancock won both contests against the Pirates to open conference play last month.
