Pioneers Split Series vs. Sonoma after Falling Twice Saturday

ROHNERT PARK, Calif. -- The Cal State East Bay baseball team split its four-game series with Sonoma State this weekend after dropping both ends of Saturday's doubleheader at Seawolf Diamond. SSU bounced back from two losses to the Pioneers Friday in Hayward to win by final scores of 8-1 and 10-3.

After not playing for two weeks due to rain in the Bay Area, CSUEB is now 13-7 for the season with a record of 4-5 in the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) following their 2-2 week.

The Pioneers grabbed an early lead in the first game, as Daniel Goodrich singled to left to plate Matt Cantelme and make the score 1-0 in the second inning. But the Seawolves tied the game in the bottom of the frame, then Ryan O'Malley hit a solo home run with one out in the third to put SSU on top 2-1. 

Sonoma broke the game open with five runs in the fourth inning, taking advantage of five hits and two walks. Seawolf left-hander Matt Hammonds held the Pioneers in check over six innings to earn the win and prevent any comeback attempts by the visitors.

Brandon Acosta took the loss, giving up five runs in 3.1 innings. Senior Marcus Williams was strong in relief, tossing 3.2 scoreless innings out of the bullpen. The Pioneers finished with eight hits, led by Rudy Navarro and Michael Thomas, who both went 2-for-4.

The series finale was scheduled for seven innings, but it only took three for the home team to jump out to a big lead. SSU scored three runs in the second and four runs in the third, capped off by a Matthew Richards three-run homer. 

The Pioneers plated three runs in the sixth, as Chris Porter, Ryan Wheat, and Marcus Wise all records RBIs. That made the score 8-3, but the Seawolves tacked on a pair of insurance runs in the bottom of the frame to secure the win. 

Donavon Ramirez suffered his second defeat, allowing four earned run in two innings. Navarro had another two-hit game, going 2-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base.

The Pioneers host defending conference champion Cal Poly Pomona for three games next weekend, but first they have a makeup home game with San Francisco State on Wednesday, Mar. 23 at 3 p.m.
