Box Score 2 LA JOLLA — Unable to recover from a heartbreaker loss in a long, extra-inning opener on Saturday, the Stanislaus State baseball dropped both ends of a doubleheader at UC San Diego to begin the three-game set.
The Warriors fell 11-10 in game one in 10 innings and gave up seven runs in the nightcap en route to a 10-2 setback to fall to 15-14 overall and 7-11 in the California Collegiate Athletic Association.
The Tritons improved to 22-11 overall and 12-9 in conference play.
The top of the Stan State order was productive in the first game, collectively going 8-for-17 and drove in four runs. The Warriors actually out-hit UCSD, 16-14, in the wild game which lasted 4 hours and 13 minutes.
In the Warriors' half of the 10th, four consecutive singles yielded no runs for Stanislaus.
Nick Ippolito had singled to leadoff the inning, but was picked off at first by the catcher. Then,
Scott Stetson singled to right, but was also picked off in a run-down.
Patrick Mulry would followed that with a two-out single and then
Michael Chavarria also reached on an infield hit.
Each time Stanislaus scored, UCSD would answer.
The Warriors plated three runs for a 4-0 lead in the second, but the Tritons answers with three runs in the bottom of the second. With the score at 5-5, the Warriors scored four times on five hits in the sixth, but UCSD again respond with four runs on three hits and three Stanislaus errors in the inning to tie the game again.
In the eighth, the Warriors took a 10-9 lead on a RBI single by Chavarria. Again, the Tritons even the score with a run in the home half, this time a Tyler Plantier solo homer to eventually force extra innings.
As a part of the top of the order, Mulry went 3-for-5, Chavarria was 3-for-6 with two RBI,
Erik Colombini was 2-for-4.
Scott Stetson,
Charlie Gaff and
Scott Stetson each had two hits as well.
In the nightcap, UCSD scored seven runs in the first inning for the easy win.
Stanislaus scored twice in the top of the ninth inning to avoid the shutout with two unearned runs. Five different Warriors had a hit apiece.
