 By The Numbers

  • SF State (7-3/1-3 CCAA) outhit Chico State (7-3/3-1 CCAA) 10-9 but couldn't get an early 3-0 lead to stick.
  • SF State had just two hits over the final four innings. Over the same span, Chico State faced the minimum thanks to a caught stealing and a double play ball.
  • Jackson Kritsch went 4-for-5 with two runs. He singled, doubled, and tripled but came up a homer short of the cycle. He added another single in the sixth but hit into a game-ending double play.
  • The Gators stranded eight, including the bases loaded in the first and fifth innings.

 How They Scored

  • The first three Gators up singled and Jonah Gonzales came home on Kritsch's single and an error on the play. Thaddeus Wilson's RBI single up the middle brought in another run but SF State left the bases loaded.
  • Kritsch led off the third with a double down the right field line and moved up 90 feet on a Tyler Rogers groundout. Kritsch later scored on a two-out single from Richie Rios.
  • Gators starter Riley Cleary ran into trouble in the bottom of the third. He hit leadoff batter JT Navarro, who moved into scoring position on a wild pitch. A single and another wild pitch got the Wildcats on the board, and three consecutive singles tied the game at 3-3.
  • Kritsch went down the right field line again in the fifth, this time for a triple, then scored on a Rogers groundout. Jason Hare walked, Wilson singled, and they both moved up 90 feet on a wild pitch. Rios drew a 3-0 count and was intentionally walked to load the bases. That worked in the Wildcats' favor as they got a fielder's choice and groundout to avoid further damage.
  • Navarro walked to lead off the seventh and scored on a fielder's choice to tie the game at 4-4 in the seventh. With runners on second and third, Adam Munoz delivered a two-run single to left that turned out to be the game-winner.
