SANTA ROSA, Calif. — The San Francisco State baseball team dropped its conference-opening doubleheader with Sonoma State, 4-1 and 5-2, on Friday at Sypher Field on the Santa Rosa Junior College campus.
SF State (2-8/0-2 CCAA) plated the first run of the day in the third with
Bryce Brooks' fifth RBI of the season. The Seawolves (5-0/2-0 CCAA) answered with an unearned run in the bottom half of the inning. Three more unanswered runs in the fifth, sixth, and eight innings were the difference.
Ryan Bohnet (1-2) struck out five but took the loss in game one. The senior allowed three runs, two earned, over five and a third innings.
Garrett Ciuk allowed an unearned run over the next two and two thirds innings. Haydon Turpin (2-0) allowed one run in five innings of work to pick up the win for Sonoma State. Aldo Severson earned the save with four shutout innings.
In game two, the Seawolves staked an early 3-0 lead thanks to a three-run homer off the bat of Grant Saint Martin. In the seventh inning, the Gators had the bases loaded with one out but only got one run off of
Zac Neumann's sacrifice fly. The Seawolves answered quickly with a run in the bottom haf of the frame, then SF
Myles Franklin's two-out, pinch-hit RBI single plated another run but the Gators stranded a pair after that.
Dillon Houser (0-2) gave up three runs in five innings of work and was charged with the loss in game two.
Brett Elgin and
Jack Cornish both worked one scoreless inning of work. Matt Hammonds (1-0) scattered four hits over six innings and picked up the win for Sonoma State.
