SAN FRANCISCO — It's been a season of peaks and valleys for both the Stanislaus State baseball team and Friday's California Collegiate Athletic Association series-opening starter
Anthony Ramirez.
Â
Friday was a peak for both.
Â
Ramirez logged his first career complete game shutout and the Warriors won their second straight game with a 4-0 blanking on the road of San Francisco State at Maloney Field.
Â
Ramirez posted the longest outing of his career in a nine-inning complete-game shutout of the Gators (14-23, 9-20 CCAA). He struck out six, only one shy of his season high, and only allowed four hits.
Â
Ramirez threw 136 pitches in his nine innings of work – a huge sign of his building strength after missing two weeks of action and not making a start for nearly a month.
Â
Jonluke Goldman got Stanislaus State (12-26, 10-23 CCAA) on the board early with an RBI double in the first inning to put them up, 1-0.
Danny Murphy added to that lead with an RBI single in the second, making it 2-0. A two-run error in the fourth put the Warriors up, 4-0, before the midway point of the game had been reached.
Â
That allowed Ramirez to settle in. After getting out of a bases loaded jam in the bottom of the second, he would only allow three runners past first base for the rest of the game.
Â
San Francisco State was led by Sammy Gonzales, who went 2 for 4 with a double. Jordyn Eglite (3-5) took the loss after six innings of work with six strikeouts, two earned runs allowed (four total), eight hits and two walks.
Â
The series continues Saturday with a doubleheader scheduled for a noon start. Fans can find all live coverage links on WarriorAthletics.com.
