LOS ANGELES — Justin Manci scored the go-ahead run on a Colton Beatty sacrifice fly in the 10th inning as the Cal State Stanislaus baseball team avoided the series sweep with a 4-2 win over Cal State L.A.

The Warriors lost three close games in the first two days of the series but avoided the series sweep with Sunday's win at Reeder Field. Cal State Stanislaus is now 2-4 overall and 1-3 in the California Collegiate Athletic Association heading into next weekend's four-game set, in Turlock, against No. 17 Western Oregon (9-3 before Sunday's game vs Lewis-Clark State).

Manci started the Warrior 10th with a double down the left field line for his second double on the day. Eli Davis then bunted Manci over to third while reaching first on a fielder's choice. Beatty then produced the go-ahead run with a deep fly ball to score Manci and moved Davis to second.

Davis' heads up running paid off as he scored the insurance run after moving to third on another fielder's choice before scoring on a wild pitch to make it 4-2.

Anthony Gotelli, who came in in relief in the sixth, closed out the game with two strikeouts and a pop-up in the final inning to earn the win. Gotelli gave up just two hits (both to LA's ninth batter David Compton) and struck out five in his 4 1/3 innings of work. Starter Phil Quade gave up two runs on eight hits and struck out five in his 5 2/3 innings.

Just as they did in two of the three previous games in the series, the Warriors scored first. They got on the bard in the fourth with Craig Beevers scoring on a DJ Arellano single to right. Beevers had reached on an error and stole second to get into scoring position.

In the sixth, and the score tied at 1-1, Andy Yingling drove home Eli Davis with a single to right to make it 2-1. The run was manufactured by Davis' leadoff single before being moved over to second on a bunt. Davis then stolen third just ahead of another Yingling clutch hit.

Cal State L.A. (7-3, 3-1 CCAA) even the score in the home half of the sixth on a RBI double by Manny Acosta off Quade before Gotelli came in in relief.

Gotelli then sat down 13 of 15 batters he faced, with just the two hits by Compton -- a leadoff single in the seventh and a two-out double in the ninth -- to secure the win for Stanislaus.

Manci and Yingling both finished 2-for-5 for the day. During the series, Yingling went 6-for-17 and drove in six runs. Davis also had a nice series with five hits, a double, a home run, drove in two runs and scored five times. Arellano also homered and drove in four runs this weekend.
