Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 TURLOCK -- Ross Gonsalves did his job at the top of the order in the nightcap of Saturday's California Collegiate Athletic Association doubleheader against visiting Cal State East Bay.

Gonsalves sparked a Warriors team that had lost four in a row and seven of its last eight with three stolen bases and three base hits in game two as the Warriors won a wild affair, 6-5. Cal State East Bay won the doubleheader opener 13-2.

Cal State Stanislaus (5-9, 2-5 CCAA) held two different leads in game two before finally taking it for good in the bottom of the sixth. With two outs and the game tied 5-5, Tynan Pedretti came scampering home from third base on an errant pick-off throw from Pioneers catcher David Castillo.

It was Castillo's second bad throw to third base of the game, part of five total errors and five unearned runs that Cal State East Bay (10-4, 3-4 CCAA) would surrender in the game. The two teams combined to commit 11 errors and surrender eight unearned runs in the doubleheader.

Gonsalves reached base four times, singling in three straight at-bats before reaching on an error in the sixth. He drove in a run in the fourth, part of a three-run Cal State Stanislaus rally to go up 5-1, and stole three bases.

Matt Chaidez hit a two-run double to the left-center field gap during that rally. The Warriors also got help from Cal State East Bay. The Pioneers committed an error, were charged with a balk and threw a wild pitch during the inning.

The Warriors took an early 1-0 lead in the first inning thanks in-part to a leadoff single by Gonsalves. He would later score on an RBI single from Pete Pendley, who was getting his first start of the season.

Pendley finished the day going 3 for 6 with a double and two RBIs. He saw his first at-bats of the season as a substitute in game one and promptly went 2 for 3. Joe Whitehead and Anthony Nicolosi also had base hits as pinch-hitters in game one.

Danny Molieri (2-1) took the win in game two, while Rafael Vasquez (0-2) surrendered six runs on seven hits and five walks in game one for the loss.

The Pioneers collected 18 hits, six for extra bases, in game one. They scored runs in all but three innings en route to handing starting pitcher Michael Pope (4-0) the win.

Eren Miravalles was the offensive star for Cal State East Bay in game one, going 5 for 6 with four runs scored and three RBIs. He had a double and a triple, and barely missed a homerun in his final at-bat, banging it off the right field wall for a single. Four other players had two hits and six drove in at least one run for the Pioneers in the game.

The Warriors travel back to Hayward Sunday to close out the four-game series against Cal State East Bay with a single game starting at 11 a.m.
