UC Santa Barbara's baseball team, with rosters that feature two former Turlock High Bulldogs, is headed back to the postseason. For the third time in the last four years, the Gauchos are going to the playoffs after finishing the year with a 37-18-1 record and have been selected as the No. 2 seed in the Nashville Regional hosted by Vanderbilt of the SEC. The Gauchos will open up the regional tournament against Washington (32-21) and it wasn't without the help of some Bulldogs, especially Austin Bush, who led the pack in home-runs and RBI. Bush finished the year with seven homers, drove in 43 and also batted .267.
