HAYWARD, Calif. -- The Cal State East Bay baseball team secure its fourth straight series victory with a 4-1 victory over visiting Cal State Dominguez Hills on Sunday in the rubber match of the three-game California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) series.

The Pioneers (20-10, 11-7 CCAA) out-hit the Torors (7-24, 5-16 CCAA) 8 to 7 for the afternoon and rode an outstanding pitching performance by junior right-hander Jacob Call.

Call and CSUDH starter Ethan Etchebarren were both effective in the early going, and the game was scoreless into the sixth inning. The Pioneers finally got a rally going offensively when leading hitter Michael Thomas led off the bottom of the inning with a triple into the left-center gap. 

Troy Resch followed with an RBI single up the middle to plate the first run of the game. East Bay didn't record another hit in the inning, but they tacked on three more runs thanks to an error, two walks, a hit-by-pitch, and a sacrifice fly off the bat of Marcus Wise.

That four-run frame was plenty, as Call and reliever Andrew Fernandez held the Toros in check. Dominguez Hills finally tallied a run on a two-out infield single in the seventh, but that was all they would manage.

Call picked up his team-leading fifth victory after allowed just one run on seven hits in 7.0 innings. He struck out a pair and didn't walk a batter. Fernandez pitched two hitless innings to close out the game and earn his sixth save. 

Thomas was the only Pioneer with multiple hits, finishing 2-for-3 with a walk. Resch and Jackson Foss each reached base twice on a single and a base on balls. 

After taking on the Stockton Ports on Tuesday in a scrimmage game at Banner Island Ballpark, the Pioneers will hit the road for two straight CCAA series. Next week, they travel to Cal Poly Pomona or a three-game set against the defending West Region champions.
