Roettger improved his record to 6-0. He got the save on Wednesday.
“It was another tight game,” said Irvine Coach Gabriel Cota. “We didn’t show up ready to play and give up five (runs) on a hit by pitch, two walks and two errors.
“After that it was a great game from both sides. We battled, but couldn’t get over the hole we dug. Joon Lee threw a great game.”
