TURLOCK — The Warriors bats came alive early on Sunday as they jumped out to a big lead en route to a 13-9 series finale win over Cal State San Bernardino on Sunday.

Cal State Stanislaus scored all of its runs, using 14 of its 15 hits, in the first five innings for a commanding 13-3 lead. The Warriors improved to 6-8 overall and 3-5 in the California Collegiate Athletic Association.

Cal State San Bernardino rallied late and actually brought the game tying run to the plate before leaving town with the series split. The Coyotes are now 8-9 overall and 5-7 in the CCAA.

Justin Manci, back in the leadoff spot, went 3-for-5 with two doubles and drove in five scores. Jordan Long was 3-for-5 with a triple and three RBIs. Garrett Wright went 2-for-4 and scored three times and Andy Yingling blasted a home run to lead the Stanislaus 15-hit offensive attack.

Starter Phil Quade got the win after 5 2/3 innings of work. He gave up three earned runs out of six on nine hits. Anthony Gotelli threw three solid innings until the ninth and Dustin Baisdon came in to get the final out for his second save.

The latest lefty CSUSB put out on the mound today didn't bother the Warriors as they jumped all over Josh Lee in the first inning for four runs. The four-run first featured four straight hits including back-to-back RBI triples by Long and Eli Davis.

After CSUSB responded with three runs in the second, the Warriors chased Lee in the second after Manci's double that scored Wright for a 5-3 lead. Manci later scored on a single by Colton Beatty.

Stanislaus would tag on two more runs in the third with a two-run single up the middle by Manci to score Yingling, who had walked, and Wright, who had reached with his second hit.

Finally, the Warriors put up a five-spot in the fifth inning as they sent 11 batters to the plate. Yingling started the inning with a solo homer to deep left field. Two walks later, Manci delievered again, this time with a two-run double off the center field wall. After Manci scored on a Long single to left, CSUS worked the bases loaded again. Yingling would pick up his second RBI of the inning in his second at-bat when he was plunked by Jeff Terzo's attempt at an inside curve ball.

While the Warriors offense got quiet after the fifth (they went 1-for-11 to end the game), CSUSB pushed across three runs in the sixth, which included a solo shot by Matt Haney and two unearned runs.

In the ninth, the Coyotes started another rally and eventually loaded the bases. Ethan Chapman cleared the bases with a triple off the right field fence to make it 13-9. Two walks later, the bags were full of Coyotes again, bringing the game's tying run, Darren Dworak, to the plate.

Baisdon, who entered the game and walked Brandon Day, got Dworak to bounced out to second on a 2-2 pitch to end the game.
