 By the Numbers


 

  • SF State moves to 20-23 and to 16-16 in CCAA play. SF State is tied for fifth place with Cal State East Bay, and the Gators hold the head-to-head tiebreaker with the Pioneers. The Gators will need help next weekf from from Stanislaus State vs. Cal State East Bay or Cal State San Bernardino, who faces seventh-place Cal Poly Humboldt. SF State also won the season series versus the Lumberjacks. 
  • The Wildcats keep their playoff hopes alive and move to 13-25 overall and 12-20 in CCAA play, though they would need to win out and have help.
  • SF State honored its five seniors – Madeline Eshbach, Taylor Kelly, Kaitlyn Maddux, Mia Misasi, and Phoebe Schultz – in a pregame ceremony.
  • The seniors came up big. Misasi had a two-hit, two-RBI day. Schultz had a walk and an RBI. Maddux pitched a scoreless inning and two thirds, and Kelly recorded the final two outs of game two.
  • The Gators had five stolen bases on the day, bringing the team total to 67, just one behind league-leading Sonoma State. Kai DeLeon is second in the CCAA with 20 and Marley Gonzales is third with 19.
Game One

 How They Scored


 
  • The Gators took the early lead with a two-out rally in the second inning. Samy Vargas singled to left and Mia Misasi doubled her home for the 1-0 lead.
  • Chico State answered in a big way with a five-run third inning that was the difference in the ballgame. Five straight batters reached, capped by a three-run homer to left by Hannah Levy. Gators starter Mari Takeda Bajan settled down after that and retired ten straight before issuing back-to-back walks in the sixth that ended her day.
  • SF State threatened in the third when Marley Gonzales reached on a fielding error and stole both second and third, but was ruled out of the runner's lane on a pickoff attempt that ended the inning. The Gators got a pair of runners on in the sixth but left the pair stranded. Misasi and DeLeon drew back-to-back walks in the seventh but the Gators failed to bring them home.

  • Takeda Bajan (7-11) had one bad inning in six and a third innings. She allowed all five runs in the third on three hits with an error, making one run unearned.

  • Kaitlyn Maddux pitched an inning and two thirds of scoreless relief. She issued back-to-back walks in the seventh but got three straight outs, including a pair of strikeouts, to get out of it.
  • Amelie Valdez (7-14) went the distance for the Wildcats. She scattered just two hits, walked six, and struck out five. Valdez is sixth in the CCAA with 83 strikeouts.
