LAS VEGAS – The Gonzaga baseball team had a rough go at the West Coast Conference Tournament.

The second-seeded Zags were eliminated after two games, losing to third-seeded Saint Mary’s 14-6 on Thursday and top-seeded San Diego 16-7 on Friday at Las Vegas Ballpark.

The Zags finish their season 26-28 and will miss an NCAA berth for the third consecutive season, after making back-to-back appearances in 2021 and 2022.

GU was in trouble from the first at-bat in Las Vegas. Eddie Madrigal of Saint Mary’s hit his first of two homers on the second pitch from O’Brien Finbar (6-1) after a delayed start to Thursday’s game.

The Gaels totaled 19 hits 31 bases off of four Bulldogs pitchers. Finbar was chased after 1⅓ innings, allowing eight runs (six earned).

Friday’s game wasn’t any better.

Regular-season champion San Diego, upset by fourth-seeded Loyola Marymount Thursday, scored five runs in the first inning. The first five batters reached base on a fielding error sandwiched between four singles. Aden Howard then did damage with a three-run double.

Gonzaga starter Miles Gosztola (5-8) allowed 10 runs in 2⅔ innings. The Zags were down 16-4 before scoring three runs in the top of the ninth.

The Zags lost two straight at the WCC Tournament for the first time since 2013.
