LOS ANGELES – Cal State L.A.'s got a pair of outstanding starts from pitchers John Mitchell and Yuichiro Fujiwara and swept Cal State Stanislaus, 11-6 and 7-3 at Reeder Field. Cal State L.A. won three times in the four-game series against Cal State Stanislaus .
 
Cal State L.A. (26-14, 18-10 CCAA) won both games despite a huge day at the plate by Cal State Stanislaus (24-14, 14-13 CCAA) centerfielder Kyle Loretelli, who smacked three home runs in the doubleheader and drove in five runs. He homered twice in the opener and added a two-run shot in the nightcap that briefly knotted the game at 2-2.

Loretelli now has 14 home runs this season and is now just one shy of tying the school record for home runs in a season. Brett Gordon had 15 in 2006. Loretelli, who is already CSUS's all-time leader in home runs, increased his career tally to 26.

The Warriors took a quick 1-0 lead in the first inning of the opener on a solo home run by Loretelli, but the Golden Eagles countered with three runs in the bottom of the inning to take the lead for good. Toby Davis drove in one run on a fielder's choice and Moya added a two-run double.
 
Cal State L.A. then broke the game open with single runs in the third, fourth and fifth innings and two runs in the sixth to take an 8-1 lead. Tartamella had a sacrifice fly in the third, Jesus Campos hit his first home run of the season in the fourth and added a sacrifice fly in the fifth and Ramirez tripled in a run in the sixth and scored on a sacrifice fly by Davis.
 
Cal State Stanislaus cut the deficit to 8-4 on a three-run home run by Casey Filkins in the eighth, but the Golden Eagles got those three runs back in the bottom of the inning. A Moya groundout produced one run and Tartamella delivered a two-run single to round out the Cal State L.A. scoring.

Loretelli then added a two-run homer in the ninth to cut the L.A. lead to 11-6, before finishing the game 3-for-5 with three runs batted in. Jake Oketani went 2-for-5 to pace Stanislaus.

The nightcap hung in the balance until the Golden Eagles finally got some breathing room in the sixth. Cal State L.A. took a 1-0 lead in the first on a run-scoring single by Ramirez and upped the lead to 2-0 on Tartamella's solo home run in the second.
 
Loretelli erased the deficit with a two-run home run in the third, but the Golden Eagles regained the lead on a two-run home run by Tartamella in the fourth.
 
The key inning of the game was the fifth. The Warriors cut the lead to 4-3 when Alex Zanini led off the inning with a booming home run to left. Ryan Silver then reached on an error and Jacob Thelen beat out a beautifully-placed bunt, but Fujiwara was able to strike out Loretelli, Oketani and Filkins to end the threat.

John Dunn blanked the Warriors over the final two innings to record his eighth save of the season in the nightcap.
 
Thelen went 2-for-4 in the nightcap and Eric Federico suffered the loss in relief as he gave up two runs on two hits in the third and fourth innings.
 
Travis Tartamella had a big day to lead Cal State L.A.'s offense. After driving in three runs in the opener, he belted a pair of home runs in the nightcap and drove in three more runs. He hit a tie-breaking two-run home run in the fourth inning of the second game to give the Golden Eagles the lead for good at 4-2.

The Warriors will take a break from CCAA action and return home for the next six non-conference games. Stanislaus hosts Northwest Narazene for a four-game series beginning on Thursday before taking on Oregon Tech for a pair on Sunday.
