BOX SCORE 1 | BOX SCORE 2 Box Scores:  Game One  |  Game Two

ROHNERT PARK, Calif. -- After a come-from-behind 4-2 victory in the opener behind stellar pitching performances from Joshua Nervis and Paul Anaya, the Sonoma State offense heated up in game two, recording nine runs on 13 hits to earn the 9-2 decision, clinching the series win over visiting Cal Poly Pomona on Friday afternoon at Seawolf Diamond.  The Seawolves (15-9 overall) improved to a CCAA-best 13-3 in conference play, while dropping the Broncos to 17-10 with a 10-10 mark in the CCAA.

Game One:  Sonoma State 4, Cal Poly Pomona 2 -- Box Score

Looking to ride its momentum from the win in Thursday's nightcap, Cal Poly Pomona jumped on SSU starting pitcher Joshua Nervis for two runs in the top of the first inning on a couple of hits and an error.  From then on, Nervis settled into a groove and allowed just two more hits in his next five innings of work on the mound.  He also went on to strikeout a career-high 12 batters, allowing two walks until Paul Anaya took over in the seventh.

Meanwhile, the Sonoma State offense struggled to find its groove, but took advantage of seven walks and one hit-by-pitch by Cal Poly Pomona pitchers to chip away at the early 2-0 deficit.  The Seawolves wouldn't score their first run until the fifth when Jackson Stogner connected on a 2-2 pitch to deliver an RBI double to center field, scoring Justin Serrao from first base.

An inning later, Steven Filippi knotted the game at 2-2 with a leadoff solo home run over the right center field fence.  It was in the seventh inning that the home team took the lead on a groundball by Stogner that scored Jeff Boulware to put SSU up 3-2.  The scoring continued in the eighth as Boulware recorded a sacrifice fly RBI to score Garrett Gooselaw, giving the Seawolves a two-run lead with three defensive outs to play.

Anaya didn't miss a beat in the top of the ninth, despite giving up two hits in the frame.  He gave up a leadoff single to Joseph Eusebio, but Anaya induced a 4-6-3 double play in the next at bat.  With two outs, CPP's tried to restart the rally with a pinch-hit single by Humberto Tovalin, but Anaya came through one more time, getting Chris Curtis to fly out to end the game.

The Seawolves got the victory despite just three hits on offense, coming off the bats of Stogner, Filippi and Serrao.  On the mound, Nervis tossed 105 pitches and allowed just the two runs in the first inning (one of which was unearned) before Anaya (2-0) allowed four more hits and no runs to earn his second win of the year.

Cal Poly Pomona's Kevin Bosson (1-3) went six-plus innings and allowed three of the four runs, including the go-ahead run in the seventh.  He walked five and struck out five before Ryan Dunn, Kyle McNutt and Allen Rodarte saw time out of the bullpen for the Broncos.

Game Two:  Sonoma State 9, Cal Poly Pomona 2 -- Box Score

Almost immediately, the Seawolf offense came to life, doubling their hit total from game one in the first inning of game two alone.  Sonoma State plated five runs on those six hits in the opening frame, bringing all nine to the plate against CPP starter Jake Reed (0-1).  Nonetheless, Reed lasted only one inning before Dunn took over in the second.

Aleady leading 5-0, the Seawolves were able to tack on two more runs in the second inning with RBI's by Gooselaw and Jeff Johnson.

The Broncos ended the Seawolves' hopes for a shutout in the fourth with a pair of hits and a defensive miscue by SSU to cut the deficit to five runs at 7-2.  It would be all they would get, however, as Sidhu (3-0) and Michael Garber combined to allow just five hits in the game, only one of which Garber gave up in his two innings of work.  Sidhu struckout seven Broncos, while Garber fanned three.

For good measure, Sonoma State plated two extra insurance runs in the bottom of the sixth, thanks to an RBI single by Filippi and an RBI double by Gooselaw, completing the 9-2 win, as well as taking three out of four games from Cal Poly Pomona to remain atop the CCAA standings by a considerable margin.

Gooselaw went 3 for 4 with two doubles and two RBI's, Filippi went 2 for 4 with two RBI's and two runs score, Stogner went 2 for 4 with a pair of runs and Johnson also scattered two hits with an RBI and a run scored.

Sonoma State will now look towards next weekend when it plays Bay Area-rival San Francisco State in a four-game home-and-home series, starting with a single game on Friday (Mar. 30) in Rohnert Park at 3:00 p.m.  The series will then shift to Maloney Field in San Francisco for a doubleheader on Saturday (Mar. 31) before the teams return to Rohnert Park on Sunday (Apr. 1) to wrap up the series.
