Petrangelo's Complete Game Win Keys Gators' Split with UCSD

Branden Petrangelo Improved to 2-2 With a Complete Game Win Over UCSD
Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 SAN FRANCSICO---    SF State senior pitcher Branden Petrangelo (2-2) pitched the Gators' pitching staff first complete game of the season as he keyed the hosts splitting this afternoon's doubleheader with the visiting UC San Diego Tritons at Maloney Field.  Petrangelo struck out three batters while walking one in giving up 8 hits and two runs en route to the Gators' 5-2 game one win.  SF State lost the night cap 4-0.
 
The Gators scored first as Mark Lindsay hit the first pitch he saw for a two-out RBI single to center field that drove in Andrew Suvunnachuen with the game's first run.  Suvunnachuen reached on a two-out double to left field.
 
SF State added two more runs in the third inning.  Wold, after reaching on a lead-off single, scored on a one-out double to left center by Suvunnachuen.  Suvunnachuen later scored on a ground out by Lindsay to increase the Gators lead to 3-0.
 
UC San Diego cut the Gator lead to just 3-2 as the Tritons scored two runs in their half of the fifth inning. 
 
The Gators (11-11, 8-8 CCAA) added an insurance run in the seventh on a Wold run scoring single with two outs that scored Sam Wilkins, who reached on a two-out double.  SF State made it 5-2 hosts, when Matt Quintero hit a one-out double to left field that drove in Thomas Wood
 
Then in the top of the ninth, Petrangelo induced the first batter to fly out.  Brett Levy then singled with one out and was out as Richard Siegel reached on a fielder's choice.  The Gator senior pitcher then induced another ground out to preserve the SF State 5-2 win.
 
Suvunnachuen finished game one 3-for-4 with two runs scored and a RBI while Lindsay drove in two runs. 
 
Greg Selarz (2-3) recorded the loss for the Tritons, pitching 6.2 innings, giving up 6 hits and four runs while walking one and striking out one.  Danny Susdorf and Gregg Ringold each had two hits to lead the Triton offense.
 
In the night cap, the Tritons scored three runs to lead off the game and that is what the trio of Trevor Scott, Elias Tumas and Tony York needed as the visitors blanked the Gators 4-0.  This was the first time this season that SF State has been shutout this year.
 
The three run first inning was keyed by the Tritons' Nick LaFace two-run double to left center that drove in Ringold and Garrett Tuck.  LaFace scored on a ground out by Justin Rahn.
 
UC San Diego (14-14, 12-8 CCAA) added an insurance run in the fourth on a RBI suicide squeeze that drove in Spencer Frazier, who reached earlier on a lead-off single.  He then went to second on a ground out by Susdorf and advanced to third on a third on a another sacrifice bunt by Tuck.
 
Trevor Scott (2-3) picked up the win as he pitched 5 innings, striking out four and giving up four hits.  Elias Tumas pitched a scoreless sixth, giving up just one hit while Tony York pitched a scoreless seventh to preserve the 4-0 Triton victory.
 
Matthew Cummins (1-2) recorded the loss for the Gators, pitching 2.1 innings while giving up 6 hits and three runs.
