 How They Scored

  • Chico State got on the board first with a leadoff homer from JT Navarro.
  • The Wildcats added on in the second with a four-run frame. Navarro drove in an unearned run with a sacrifice bunt, then Chico State added on with an RBI single and another fielder's choice.
  • In the fifth, Rudy Aguilar, Jonah Gonzales, and Kritsch all singled, then Riley Cleary got the Gators going with a grand slam.
  • However, the Gators couldn't get the shutdown inning in the bottom half of the inning. The Wildcats opened the frame with back-to-back singles, moved the runners over with a sac bunt, and brought them home on designated hitter Adam Munoz's double down the left field line.
  • In the eighth inning, Tyler Stofiel grew the lead to four with a solo home run to left field.

  • Jack Reitsma gave up a solo home run in the eighth but retired the other three batters he faced.
  • Grant Larson was chased in the fifth after the grand slam to Cleary and a hit by Trevor Rogers.
  • The combination of Chico State relievers Alex Kent (1-0), Josh Verdon, Daniel Foret, and Kristian Scott allowed just two hits over four and one third shutout innings.
