            Sonoma State scored its first run in the bottom of the second on a home run by Brian Joyce. The Seawolves then cut the Gator lead to 5-3 on Ryan Averkieff's two-run double in the fourth. 

            SF State's Matt Memeo hit a two-run home run in the fifth to cap a three-run frame to increase the visitors' lead to 8-3. The Seawolves added a run in the fifth and three more in the sixth to cut the Gator lead to 8-7.

            Once again, the Gators' bats came alive with a two-run seventh inning as Proni hit a RBI double to score Carini and then scored on a RBI double by Anderson to increase SF State's lead to 10-7. 

            Sonoma State scored its final run in the eighth inning on Danny Pignataro's RBI single. The Gators came back with three-run in their half of the ninth to increase their lead to five (13-8) heading into the Seawolves' final at-bat, which the Seawolves stranded the bases loaded with one out. Spencer Kreisberg (Tigard, Oregon, Los Medanos College)recorded his first save of the season as he got the final two Seawolves out on a strike out and a ground out.

            Eric Keithley (Santa Rosa , Santa Rosa JC) (3-1) picked up the win for SF State, pitching four innings, giving up five hits and three runs while striking out six and walking two. Kreisberg pitched the final three innings of the game, giving up five hits and one run while striking out three and walking one.
