Ventura gave up a single score in the bottom of the first against the Bulldogs, then four runs in the third. The Bulldogs broke the game open with a five-run fifth frame.
The Pirates' best chance to score came in the fifth inning when Gipson and Sam Langler led off with walks, then advanced to second and third on a wild pitch with two outs. Both were left stranded at the end of the frame.
Ventura will host Pasadena in a non-conference game on Tuesday March 27. First pitch is scheduled for 2:30 pm at Pirate Park.
