 How It Happened


Daniel Santos hit an RBI single to right field for the first run of the day in the top of the first. The Gators would get runners in scoring position the next three innings but were not able to capitalize. SF State finally added another run when Justin Johnson hit a solo homer to left field.
  The Gators gave up back-to-back singles to open the sixth inning and three straight doubles by East Bay gave the Pioneers their first lead of the weekend at 4-2. They tacked on another run in the sixth with a two-out RBI single.
 
The Gators rallied in the eighth to plate eight runs and reclaim a lead they would never relinquish. SF State loaded the bases with no outs. Armando Murillo hit a sac fly to get a run back. French sliced a single up the left side to make it a one-run game. The bases loaded up for Johnson and the third baseman singled to right to advance everyone 90 feet and tie the game. Santos took a hit by pitch to give the Gators the lead back at 6-5. Sugden cleared the bases with a double to extend the lead to 9-5. AJ Schrader capped off the scoring with an RBI single.
    Johnson would add an insurance run in the ninth with a sac fly to go up 11-5.
