• First-time Big West Freshman of the Week Jazzy Santos aided league co-leader UC Santa Barbara to a weekend sweep at CSU Bakersfield.
• The true freshman out of Stanton and 2022 graduate of Los Alamitos High School went 3-for-7 (.429) with one run, a double, two RBI, three walks, and an on-base percentage of .636 from the cleanup spot.
• Santos was 2-for-3 with a run, double, RBI and a walk in the nightcap of Saturday’s doubleheader, a 10-6 Gaucho victory. The RBI double broke a 3-3 tie in the fifth.
• Santos started all three games at second base and handled all 11 defensive chances cleanly with eight putouts and three assists. UCSB (22-11, 9-3 Big West) has won a season-high eight in a row.
