The #1 curse is carrying over to baseball I guess.
SAN DIEGO, Calif. - Junior right hander Josh Butler and freshman left hander Brian Matusz turn in dominating pitching performances as the University of San Diego baseball team upset the No.1 Longhorns of the University of Texas, 4-2, Friday afternoon at Cunningham Stadium.
With the win the Toreros move to 1-0 to open their 2006 campaign, became the first baseball team at USD to defeat a No. 1 ranked team and only the second athletic program in the history of the university to defeat a top-ranked team, USD's men's soccer has twice defeated a No. 1 ranked team. With the loss the Longhorns fall to 0-1, losing their first ever game to San Diego in the team's seven meetings.
San Diego's starter, Butler (1-0) threw five complete innings not allowing a single run while giving up only two hits and striking out five batters in picking up the win for the Toreros. Matusz, making his collegiate debut, also looked impressive striking out the first the first batter he faced, while fanning three others. Matusz allowed two runs on three hits in his four complete innings of work to pick up the save.
