Baseball Sweeps Doubleheader From Stanislaus

Gary Moran struck out seven batters in five innings on Saturday
ROHNERT PARK, Calif-  The Sonoma State Seawolves returned to their winning ways on Saturday afternoon, sweeping Cal State Stanislaus in a non-conference doubleheader by scores of 13-4 and 1-0.  The wins lift the Seawolves' record to 8-1 on the year.  The Warriors fall to 5-3.

The Seawolves are a perfect 5-0 at home this season.  They have outscored their opponents 59-7 in those games.

Through nine games the Seawolves have a team earned run average of 1.31. 

The Seawolves scored in bunches in game one, plating three runs in the third and fourth and four in the fifth.  In all, SSU would score in five of their eight innings.  Dave Herman and Kyle Jones each drove in three runs each and Ian Bridges and Travis Babin each had three hits.

SSU starter Gary Moran was masterful, striking out seven in five innings of one-hit ball.  Save for a rough stretch by Paul Oules in the sixth, the bullpen was solid too as Max Smoot, Josh Priest, and John Bonifacini held the Warriors scoreless over the final 3 2/3 innings.

In game two it would be a Konrad Thieme RBI single in the fifth inning that was the difference.  After Ian Bridges reached with his second hit of teh game, Thieme drove him home, providing the SSU pitching staff the run they'd need for victory. 

Rashad Tucker went the first five for the win.  Morgan Rodriguez and Tyler Fockler pitched in relief with Fockler earning his first save in a Seawolf uniform.
