Gonzaga baseball heads into final stretch with eye on West Coast Conference title
May 8—Gonzaga's baseball team regrouped and reignited its bats earlier this week. Confidence restored, the Zags head into their penultimate West Coast Conference series with their sights set on a championship. Gonzaga (29-17, 16-5 WCC), with a three-game lead atop the conference standings, visits second-place San Francisco (22-24, 13-8) for a three-game set this weekend, starting at 2 p.
m. Friday. GU can wrap up its first regular-season conference title since 2022 with a series win.
"Going to San Francisco is obviously going to be a big one, and I think we're all geared up for it," star third baseman Mikey Bell said after GU raced past Washington State 10-5 on Monday in Spokane. The Bulldogs, ranked 54th nationally in the RPI, are looking to add another major accomplishment in what's already been a memorable season. Behind an ultra-productive lineup, Gonzaga set a program record with 14 consecutive wins before a bumpy stretch last week.
The team dropped a narrow midweek game at No. 13 Oregon, then lost a WCC series for the first time this year, falling twice at home to Santa Clara. The Zags averaged 9.
