 How It Happened


Armando Murillo hit a two-out single in the third. French hit the ball near the left field line. Cal Poly Pomona Jack Sanders tried to make the diving catch but the ball fell for a double, allowing Murillo to come home. The Gators faced their biggest threat so far in the top of the fifth with bases loaded and two outs, but Ethan Remmers delivered a strikeout to end the threat.

SF State had a huge two-out rally in the bottom of the fifth to go up 5-0. With the bases loaded and Johnson up to bat, the hot hitter launched the ball to left field to allow two runs to cross. Derek Laferriere hit the ball to left center to clear the bases and take the lead.
  Sanders put a run up on the board for the Broncos in the sixth, homering over left center. Pomona hit an RBI single up the middle with a runner on third in the seventh to cut the Gators' lead to 5-2. The runner at first stole second as the next batter hit the ball into left to make it a 5-4 lead.

With a chance to win the game, the Gators turned to David Eichhorn to pitch the last two innings. Eichhorn allowed a lead-off single in each of his two innings, but got three straight outs after each hit to record a zero on the scoreboard.
