Box Score TURLOCK — Jeremy McDonald and Ryan McDaniel combined to pitch a shutout as the Warriors held down Southern Indiana, 3-0, to win their third straight game at home Friday night.

Starter McDonald threw six scoreless innings and struck out eight batters and McDaniel continues his hot start with three more shutout innings to lead Cal State Stanislaus. Stanislaus, which swept Fresno Pacific on Monday under the lights at home, improved to 3-2 overall heading into game two of the three-game set against Southern Indiana on Saturday.

Marcus Mastrobuoni blasted a solo homerun down the left-field line in the second inning to lead the Warriors' offensive charge. He finished with another 2-for-4 game and has now hit safely in each of the five games. For the season, he's gone 10-for-18 (.556) with six RBIs with a slugging percentage of .722.

Southern Indiana (0-1) scattered seven hits but left eight runners on base. Jonathon Wandling and Andrew Cope each had two hits for a good baseball program, which won the 2010 national championship.

The closest the Screaming Eagles were to scoring on the Warriors was in the second inning. They managed runners on second and third after a walk, single and an error with one out. But McDonald got A.J. Dokey to strikeout and Ryan Bertram to fly out to right to end the threat.

USI also had two baserunners on in the fourth and fifth innings. However, McDonald struck out Bertram again to end the fourth and got clean-up batter Brent Weinzapfel to strikeout looking to end the fifth.

After McDonald threw a 1-2-3 sixth, head coach Kenny Leonesio went to the most effective arm out of the bullpen thus far in McDaniel. McDaniel faced just 10 batters in three innings — he gave up a bouncing single through the left-side in the seventh — and struckout four to pick up the save.

In three appearances now, McDaniel has shut-down the opposition and fanned 11 batters in 13 2/3 innings of work. On Monday, he gave up just two hits in 4 2/3 innings of relief.

In the Stanislaus seventh inning, the Warriors scored twice to put some distance between them and USI. Eriksen Dickens, who finally collected his first collegiate hit tonight with a single to right, came around and eventually scored on a squeeze play put down by Skippy Ferreria. The USI pitcher threw the ball away trying to get Dickens out at home.

Stevie Robinson had walked with one out later scored on a sacrifice fly by Colton Beatty to make it 3-0.
