Chris Nicoll pitched six innings, allowing no runs and three hits in
the UC Irvine baseball team's 10-1 season-opening victory Friday at
Cal.
Nicoll (1-0) was credited with the win for the Anteaters (1-0),
while Cal's Adam Gold (0-1) received the loss after pitching 5 2/3
innings with seven runs and nine hits against him. UCI's Nash
Robertson had the save.
UCI scored its first run in the top of the first on a Mark Wagner
solo home run, and the Anteaters tacked on two runs in the third, one
in the fourth, three in the sixth, one in the seventh and two in the
ninth.
Wagner finished 2 of 5 with two RBIs, while R.J. Brown, Chad
Lundahl and Brett Dalton also had two hits apiece for UCI. Tim
Stewart added a two-run pinch-hit homer in the ninth inning and Jaime
Martinez had a two-run single in the fourth and an RBI groundout in
the sixth.
UCI plays today at 1 p.m. in the second of three games at Cal.

Theriot selects UCLA
* FOOTBALL: Newport Harbor High football standout Trevor Theriot
has chosen to walk on at UCLA.
Theriot, who played fullback and linebacker while captaining the

Angel Stadium last fall, chose UCLA Friday, over USC and San Jose
State, two other options he was considering.
Theriot, named Division VI Co-Offensive Player of the Year, was
also recently chosen to play in the Shrine game in June, pitting the
best graduated high school seniors from public and private schools
against each other.
