TURLOCK — The Warriors rallied late again and scored four runs in the final inning to win game one before dropping the second as Cal State Stanislaus and San Francisco State split the twinbill, and the series, on Saturday.

Cal State Stanislaus won game one, 4-3, by scoring four runs in its final at-bats. Then, the Gators broke a 4-4 tie in the eighth and held on to win 5-4 in game two.

The four-game series split meant the Warriors will go into Easter Spring Break with a 17-16 overall and 12-11 California Collegiate Athletic Association records. San Francisco State is now 17-20, 10-14 in CCAA play.

Trailing 3-0 in the seventh in a game where the Warriors were designated as the visiting team of a seven-inning game, they rallied for four runs on four straight hits against CCAA pitcher of the week Patrick Haugen.

After Thomas Shull reached on an error by the SF State second baseman and a fly out, the Stanislaus top of the order went to work. Corey Conflenti, Doug Porras and David Contreras all picked up consecutive singles with Porras' hit to right platting Shull. Conflenti scored on Contreras' hit to right to make it 3-2.

Porras then scored off Michael Johnson's hot bat to tie the game. Johnson's double in the seventh was his third hit of the game as he went 3-for-4. In 14 games, Johnson went 20-for-45 (.444) with 19 RBIs.

Andrew Graves followed with a sac fly to right to score Contreras as the go-ahead run.

CSUS starter Kory Wallace faced three batters in the seventh and with two outs and a Gator on second, he gave way to Leonard Giammanco. Giammanco got Drew Andersen to fly out to center to save the game. Wallace got the win and improve to 6-3. He gave up three runs on four hits, struck out five and walked three.

In game two, San Francisco State scored twice in the first off Johnson, who made his first start of the year on the mound.  Cal State Stanislaus did answer right back with two in the bottom of the first with RBI singles by Graves and Casey Filkins.

The Warriors would take a 3-2 lead on a single by Johnson in the third, then built the lead to 4-2 on a Vince Hungerford solo home run to lead off the fourth inning.

That was the end of the Warriors' scoring, however. SF State rallied for two in the fifth to tie. Then with one out in the eighth, a double by Sean Proni and a single by Deon King gave the Gators the final margin.

Stanislaus managed to get a runner on second with one out, but SFSU's Nic Banaugh earned his second save of the series by getting a strike out and a deep fly out to center to end the game.

Before resuming the CCAA season next weekend against No. 1 UC San Diego, the Warriors will play an exhibition game against the Modesto Nuts -- a single A minor league of the Colorado Rockies -- on Wednesday. First pitch at John Thurman Field is at 7:05 p.m.
