Box Score TURLOCK — One bad inning and one critical mistake cost the Warriors on Sunday as No. 24 UC San Diego rallied again to defeat Cal State Stanislaus, 4-3, in the finale of the four-game set.

UC San Diego completes the California Collegiate Athletic Association series sweep and won its 11th consecutive conference game. The Tritons improved to 25-11 overall and 21-7 in CCAA play.

The Warriors once again dropped another frustrating game. For the second time in three games, they held a lead but one crooked number inning turned the tide as they dropped to 11-25, 5-22 in CCAA play heading into next week's road trip at No. 7 ranked Cal Poly Pomona.

Cal State Stanislaus was all over Triton starter Troy Cruz in the first, scoring two unearned runs to go up 2-0. Skippy Ferreria, who went 2-for-4 on the day, reached on a fielding error, and later scored on a fielder's choice grounder from Dayton Mellor. Mellor stole second and would eventually score the second run on a Matt Chaidez single through the right-side.

The Warriors took a 3-0 lead in the fourth after Tanner Negrette tripled to the right-field corner to leadoff the inning. He would score on a Stevie Robinson grounder to second.

All the while, Nick Ippolito was dealing. The freshman hurler allowed three singles in the first five innings and face just 19 batters without a Triton reaching second base. But in the sixth, UC San Diego got to Ippolito. A four-run sixth inning, which included two unearned runs, allowed the Tritons to take-over the lead for good.

Justin Rahn's bunt single loaded the bases with nobody out and Michael Mann walked to force in a run. UCSD tied the game off the bat of Christian Leung who's slow chopper went between the pitcher and second baseman for an infield hit, but Robinson's throw to first went wide allowing a second run to score to tie. Garrett Tuck's grounder to short scored Mann for the go-ahead run.

Ryan McDaniel replaced Ippolito (6 innings, 6 hits, 2 earned runs, 2 walks, four strikeouts) in the seventh and gave up two hits and two walks without allowing a run in the final three innings.

The Tritons bullpen of David Hart and Scott Zeman the shutout the Warriors with 1-2-3 eighth and ninth innings.

The Warriors were swept in a four-game series for the second time this season. Chico State, then ranked No. 11, won all four games here March 21-23.

The four-game set at Cal Poly Pomona (26-10, 19-9 CCAA) will begin on Thursday, ahead of the Easter weekend. Teams will play single games on Thursday and Friday before a doubleheader on Saturday at Scolinos Field.
