San Marcos, Ca-  The Seawolves jumped out to an early lead and never looked back on the way to a game one 12-3 victory over the Cougars.  For Head Coach John Goelz its was a milestone win as he accumulated his 1,100th career win.

Drew Downing got the party started with a first inning RBI double to left centerfield driving in lead off man James Harwell.  Then in the 4th Trevor Mallet got the green light on 3-0 and doubled down the line bringing home Dante Peretti and SSU led 2-0.

Later in the game, James Harwell would drive in 3 more Seawolves, one with a single to center in the fifth, then another with a single to right in the 6th and finally a bases loaded walk in the 8th.  After after that it was 6-2 SSU.  Sonoma State continued to rally in the 8th scoring 6 more times, topped off by a Dante Peretti homer to left center. 

Starting pitcher Jake Dent (1-2) was solid, going 6.2 and only walking 2 Cougars on his way to his first win of the year.

Sonoma State opened up the running game big time, stealing 6 bags in the game, which was the  first of two. San Marcos won the nightcap 10-8, thwarting a furious SSU comeback in the 9th inning.
