In the bottom of the second inning, SSU strung together six straight hits, including the aforementioned Schwartz homerun, a two-RBI single by Gary Detwiler, and an RBI double by Jackson Stogner for one of two four-run innings. 
 
Sonoma State put up a four spot yet again, this time in the fourth inning, all coming with two outs.  Scott Harkin started the scoring rally with an RBI single, one of his two RBIs for the game.  After Marcus Kimura was walked and Devon Zenn was hit by a pitch to load the bases, Schwartz smacked a bases-clearing double to deep left field, giving the Seawolves a 9-3 lead.  Cal State San Bernardino scored two runs in the fifth, and one in the seventh to slightly close the gap to four runs, at 10-6.  However, SSU put up three more runs in the eighth inning to put the game out of reach at a score of 13-6.

GAME 2: CAL STATE SAN BERNARDINO 5, #20 SONOMA STATE 2 (F/10) – BOX SCORE
In a game that was scheduled for seven innings, it took ten to decide a winner as the nightcap of the doubleheader turned into a pitching duel early on. 
 
Both offences were quiet for the first three innings, but Cal State San Bernardino came through in the fourth on a sacrifice fly by Billy Hamilton, scoring Steven Chagolla.  However, Sonoma State answered back in the bottom half of the inning to knot the score at 1-1, also on a sacrifice fly that scored Garrett Schwartz. 
 
The back-and-forth scoring continued in the ninth inning when the Coyotes pulled ahead on yet another sacrifice fly, this time by Richard Mount to score Trevor McMaster to take a 2-1 lead into the bottom of the ninth.  Sonoma State would be able to answer back again on the fourth sacrifice fly of the game to tie the contest at 2-2.
