SEASIDE — Like it did last weekend against first-place Chico State, the Stanislaus State baseball team held a lead Sunday for a third game in its four-game series at No. 25 Cal State Monterey Bay. But also like last weekend, the Otters' offense proved powerful, scoring double-digit runs for the second time in the series to finish off a four-game California Collegiate Athletic Association sweep with a 19-6 win at the CSUMB Baseball Field.
 
Stanislaus State (7-18, 5-15 CCAA) scored three runs in the top of the third inning against the nationally ranked Otters (20-9, 15-5 CCAA). Like the Otters had done all weekend, the Warriors capitalized on an error in the top of the first to score three unearned runs, capped by a two-out, two-run single from Joseph Hauck that made it 3-0.
 
Cal State Monterey Bay answered in the bottom half of the first with three runs of its own. The Otters walked 10 times Sunday, with eight of them scoring. Two of those came in the bottom of the first, as the Otters tied the game at 3-3.
 
Stanislaus State had 11 hits in the game and had five players with multi-hit performances. Hauck went 2 for 3 with three RBIs. Trevor McInerny, who was also the starting pitcher, went 2 for 4 with two runs scored, and Cole Thompson went 2 for 4 with a stolen base.
 
CSUMB put the game away early with nine runs in the bottom of the second to take a commanding 12-3 lead. Four walks, four hits, a hit-by-pitch and an error in the inning powered the Otters' rally. The last four runs of the inning went unearned.
 
The Warriors next host Cal State East Bay in a four-game CCAA series starting Friday at Warrior Field.
