TURLOCK — After Cal State East Bay put on a late charge to win game one, 7-4, game two of the doubleheader was halted due to darkness with Cal State Stanislaus looking for a split. The Warriors were leading 11-6 before the start of the seventh inning.
The teams will complete the halted game on Monday at 1 p.m. in Hayward prior to the start of the scheduled series finale on Pioneer Field.
In game one, the Warriors jumped on top 2-0 after the first inning with a RBI double by
Corey Conflenti.
Andrew Graves then drove in a run with a single to score Conflenti. The Warriors made it 4-0 after the fifth inning.
CSUS starter
Andrew Stueve retired the first 11 batters he faced and was pitching a no-hitter through five innings before East Bay started its rally.
The Pioneers (4-8-1, 1-5 CCAA) scored three times in the sixth, highlighted by a two-run double by Levi Josewski. Josewski drove in the game's tying run in the eighth and CSUEB got three runs off Warrior relievers in the ninth for the 7-4 win.
Conflenti went 3-for-3 and
Kory Vitato was 2-for-3 and walked twice with a stolen base to lead Stanislaus (6-7, 2-4 CCAA).
Eric Cendejas, who had a save on Saturday, gave up three runs on three hits to pick up the loss.
In the nightcap, the Warriors hung a five-spot in the first with four hits and three walks off CSUEB starter John Volk.
Alex Zanini and
Casey Filkins each drove in runs to spark the offense early. Both Zanini and Filkins had three hits apiece in the game before it was called.
Trailing 5-1, CSUEB put on a charge in the fifth with a two-out grand slam homer by Nick McManus to take a 6-5 lead.
The Warriors, however, answered right back with three runs in each of the fifth and sixth innings to regain the advantage. Filkins again was in the middle of both rallies with a RBI single in the fifth and a run scoring suicide squeeze play in the sixth.
Stanislaus starter
Kory Wallace sat down the first eight batters in order and 10 of the first 11 before East Bay scored a run in the fourth. None of the six runs he allowed were earned.
