TURLOCK — Warrior ace
Andrew Stueve nearly pitched a complete game shutout in game one, then
Thomas Shull led a 14-hit attack as Cal State Stanislaus swept Cal State East Bay, 3-0 and 10-2, Saturday.
With the doubleheader sweep, the Warriors improved to 9-1 overall and 3-1 in the California Collegiate Athletic Association. The last time Stanislaus started the season 9-1 was in 2009 when the Warriors were ranked No. 1 by Collegiate Baseball.
Cal State East Bay falls to 3-10 and 1-5 in CCAA play. These two teams will wrap up the four-game set on Sunday with a twinbill starting at 10 a.m. in Hayward.
Cal State Stanislaus is now 8-0 this season at home at Warrior Baseball Field.
Senior right-hander Stueve tossed another gem in his third start of the season. He retired 20 of the first 21 batters he faces, allowed just a single to Nick McManus in the fourth inning. Stueve took a shutout into the ninth inning before being replaced by closer
Leonard Giammanco with one out.
Stueve finished with 8 1/3 innings of work and gave up five hits, struck out four and walked none for his second win of the year. Giammanco got a ground out and a fly out in the ninth to pick up his first save.
Offensively, the Warriors jumped on top in the first off CSUEB starter Bryce Miller.
Michael Johnson drove in Shull with a safely squeeze bunt for the first run, then
Colton Beatty's single to left scored
David Contreras for a 2-0 lead.
Cal State Stanislaus tagged on another run in the sixth. Miller threw all eight innings for the Pioneers.
In the nightcap, Shull went 4-for-4 with two doubles and scored all four times. Contreras was 2-for-3 and drive in three runs.
DJ Arellano went 2-for-3 and Beatty drove in two scores.
The Warriors scored four times in the third inning for a 5-0 lead. In that frame, Contreras and Beatty each drove in two runs. Stanislaus then tagged on runs in the next three innings and cruised to the win.
Kory Wallace made the seven-inning game start and picked up the win by going the required four innings. He allowed two runs on four hits.
Phil Quade pitched three no-hit innings to preserve the lead.
East Bay starter Paul Jinkens got the loss. He pitched 3 1/3 innings and gave up seven runs on nine hits.
