San Francisco needs a big weekend to lock in a spot in the West Coast Conference postseason tournament. The Dons begin their three-game series against Pacific on Friday.
Whether or not San Francisco gets to extend its season beyond this weekend is up to the Dons this weekend. They’re currently in position for the sixth and final spot in the West Coast Conference tournament, but have other teams chasing them. They’ll look to lock things up over the weekend in a three-game series at home against Pacific, beginning on Friday.

Coming into the weekend, USF is 11-13 in conference play in 2022. That’s a game back of Loyola Marymount for No. 5, and a game up on No. 7 Pepperdine (the Waves host Portland this weekend). The Dons have the tiebreaker over the Waves, thanks to taking two of three in the head-to-head series this year.
The long ball should be a big part of this weekend’s series, both for the Tigers and the Dons. The two teams are tied for the second-most home runs in the WCC with 46 each. They’re also first and third in doubles, with USF totaling 103 this season and Pacific 93.
Sophomore infielder Luke Keaschall leads the Dons’ offense. He’s batting a team-high .318 and tied for the team lead with seven home runs. On the basepaths, he continues to be a threat and leads the WCC with 30 stolen bases.
Junior outfielder Brandon Motheral is the leading hitter for the Tigers, batting .317 this year. Motheral has a hit in seven of the last nine games and went 4-for-12 with five RBIs in three games against BYU over the weekend.
First pitch on Tuesday is set for 3 p.m.
Regional restrictions may apply.
