SAN FRANCISCO – Mark Lindsay drove in both of this afternoon's runs including the game-winning run on a one-out single down the right field line that drove in Dillon Meyer in the bottom of the eighth inning with what proved to be the game-winning in SF State's 2-1 win over #24 Sonoma State.  Nolan Sheridan picked up his first collegiate save as he pitched a scoreless ninth including striking out the last batter.
 
The game was scoreless until the Gator sixth when Miguel Flores singled to right center with one out.  Flores went to third on a failed picked off attempt by the Seawolf pitcher.  Lindsay hit the second pitch he saw to drive in Flores with a single to right center to give SF State a 1-0 lead.
 
Sonoma State (18-8, 10-6 CCAA) tied the game in the top of the eighth inning as Devon Zenn walked to lead off the Seawolf eighth.  He went to second on a ground by Garrett Schwartz.  Scott Moen then hit a single right field that drove in Zenn with the tying run.

In the Gator half of the eighth, Dillon Meyer reached base on a two-base error by the Seawolves.  Then with one out, Lindsay hit a 3-1 pitch down the right field line to drive in Meyer with what proved to be the game-winning run.
