UCSB baseball was picked to win its second straight Big West championship and make a fourth straight NCAA Regional appearance in D1Baseball’s recent Big West season preview. Gaucho pitchers Mike Gutierrez and Tyler Bremner also received preseason awards — Pitcher of the Year for Gutierrez and Freshman of the Year for Bremner.

The Gauchos posted a record of 44-14 overall and 27-3 in The Big West en route to the conference title and an NCAA Regional appearance last season. The lefty, the shutout, while the team was led by the four goals and seven steals of Emma Gilbert.

$129.83 in 2019, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. That increased by 78% to $230.88 in 2022.

The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities reported the 2018 farm bill also increased the maximum SNAP benefits by 21 percent effective October 2021. That increase was to “accurately reflect the cost of a healthy diet,” the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities stated.

Dos Pueblos now sports an 11-7 record, with a 6-1 mark in league play.
