Box Score TURLOCK — Spot-starter
Keith McDaniels turned in a quality performance and the Warriors offense jumped on San Francisco State early as they won the finale, 8-0, to complete the series sweep on Sunday.
McDaniels, who was just given the starting assignment two hours prior to game, struck out 11 in seven innings of shutout work to help Cal State Stanislaus improve to 25-17 overall and 18-14 in the California Collegiate Athletic Association.
With Chico State beating Sonoma State Sunday afternoon by scoring eight runs in the ninth, the Warriors are now tied for fourth place, with Cal State L.A., in the CCAA standings.
The sweep is the Warriors' third this season (second during CCAA play). The last time Stanislaus swept San Francisco State was in 2009.
In just his third start of the season, McDaniels faced the minimum through four inninings and gave up just four hits in his outing to improve to 2-2 on the season.
The Stanislaus offense continues its explosion against the San Francisco State (14-26, 11-20 CCAA) pitching. The Warriors put up eight runs in the first three innings against Gator starter Trae Lopez.
Colton Beatty drove in two runs in the first with a single left center field to score
Eli Davis (single) and
Ross Gonsalves (bunt single) to start the game. In the Warriors' four-run second, Davis drove in two scores with a single and Gonsalves doubled to left to plate another runner. Gonsalves eventually came around to score on an error.
In the third inning,
Joe Medeiros doubled in
Craig Beevers, who had walked, before trotting home on a triple to right by Davis.
For the series, the Cal State Stanislaus scored 38 runs on 46 hits and batted .346 (46-for-133) with 15 extra-base hits and 18 walks. Medeiros was 6-for-9 in the series and Davis finished 11-for-18 (.611) with a double, two triples, a homer (1.056 slugging percentage), drove in eight runs and stole four bases.
On the mound, the Warrior pitching staff recorded a 0.79 ERA in the series. The staff gave up just three earned runs in 34 innings with two shutouts.
