Game One: Sonoma State 10, San Francisco State 9

A back and forth game for all nine innings, Sonoma State's offense would have to put up 10 runs to get the win in game three of the four-game series against San Francisco State.  Senior Joshua Nervis got the start on the mound for the Seawolves and pitched five and two-thirds innings, allowing 11 hits and six runs, four of which were earned.  Braden Petrangelo started for the Gators and pitched for 6.1 innings, allowing 11 hits and eight runs, three of them earned.  The win moves Nervis to 2-2 on the year.  Petrangelo was credited with loss and drops to 2-3.

Sonoma State began the scoring in second inning when Johnson scored on an error by right fielder Devon King.  Jackson Stogner followed it up with a sacrifice fly, scoring Joel Thys from third.  Justin Serrao scored the third run of the inning on a throwing error by the pitcher, Petrangelo.

San Francisco State came back with a vengeance in the third, taking the 4-3 lead on a throwing error by Thys.  Two of the Gators four runs in the third were unearned, as they came by way of defensive errors.  Matt Quintero singled in a run in the third, as part of a 3 for 5, three-RBI day.  King also had an RBI single in the third, scoring Mark Lindsay.  SFSU extended their lead to 6-3 in the fourth on a sacrifice fly by Miguel Flores and a RBI double from Lindsay.

Sonoma State came back to tie it at 6-6 in the fifth by way of three RBI doubles from Johnson, Serrao and Jeff Boulware.  Both teams were held quiet in the sixth.  Ian Ocon came in with two outs in sixth to the get the third out for Nervis.  Ocon pitched two innings, giving up five hits and two runs, which were not earned.

The Sonoma State seventh began with a Johnson walk and would advance to second on a Thys single.  Johnson would move to third on a failed pickoff attempt by the pitcher and came in to score on a sacrifice fly to center field by Boulware.  Jack Jorgensen came in in relief for Petrangelo with one out in the seventh.  Jorgensen finished the game for the Gators allowing two hits and two earned runs.  Stogner came up and hit into a RBI fielder's choice to shortstop to score Thys and give the Seawolves an 8-6 lead.

SSU got a lone run in the eighth on a sacrifice fly to right field by Thys, scoring Garrett Gooselaw.  The Gators scored two of their own on a two-RBI single by Quintero.  Michael Garber came in for Ocon and finished the game, receiving the save. 

The Seawolves got an insurance run in the top of the ninth when Steven Filippi hit a single through the right side, scoring Serrao.  Two runs would be enough cushion for Garber as he would allow only two hits and one run to come across home plate before striking out Ivan Otsuka on a called third strike to end the game.

Along with Johnson's 3 for 4 performance, both Thys and Serrao went 2 for 4 with an RBI and two runs scored.  Despite going 0 for 3, Stogner contributed two RBI's to the win.  A.J.

Game 2: Sonoma State 8, San Francisco State 4

Sonoma State picked up where they left off in game one, scoring four runs in the second inning and never looking back in the evening game of Sunday's doubleheader, winning 8-4.  Harmen Sidhu got the start for the Seawolves and had another solid performance on the mound, allowing two runs on two hits in five innings pitched.  The win moved Sidhu to 4-0 on the season.  For the Gators, Trae Lopez started and pitched six innings, allowing seven runs to cross home plate, while only one of them was earned.  Lopez was tagged with the loss and moved to 1-1. 

Kyle Cerrudo got the start at catcher and made his mark in the second with an RBI single.  Serrao was the next batter and he singled in Garrett Schwartz to give the Seawolves a 2-0 lead.  The scoring wouldn't stop there as Stogner tripled to right center field, clearing the bases and notching two runs.  Schwartz provided more offense in third inning with a two-RBI single that put Sonoma State on top 6-0.

San Francisco State got on the board in the fourth when Lindsay hit a ground-out RBI to first base scoring Almarez.  Tyler Tulowitski then singled to left field to score Miguel Flores.  Coming in in relief for Sidhu, Glen Wallace pitched the final two innings, giving up two runs on three hits.

After being silenced in the fourth and fifth innings, Sonoma State came back to score one in the sixth on a single to center field by Serrao to score Schwartz.  SF State would get a run in the bottom half of the sixth on a single up the middle by Tulowitski to keep the four run margin.  Peter Reyes came in in the seventh for Lopez giving up a run on one hit.

The Gators wouldn't get any closer than four runs as Garrett Gooselaw doubled in a run in the SSU seventh.  Tulowitski would draw a bases-loaded walk to make the score 8-4.  That would be it as Andrew Suvunnachuen grounded into a fielder's choice ground out to get Tulowitski out at second to end the game, giving Sonoma State the win 8-4.
