Dirtbags Fall in Series Finale to Rainbow Warriors

3/20/2022 4:47:00 PM | Baseball

Long Beach State fell in the weekend finale, but still take the weekend series.

LONG BEACH, Calif. – The Dirtbags (10-8, 2-1 Big West) fall in the series finale against Hawai'i (7-12, 1-2 Big West) by the score of 6-3. Long Beach State still takes the series over the Rainbow Warriors, but the loss snaps a five-game winning streak.
 
Hawai'i got their offense rolling early with runs in each of the first, second, and third innings to take an early 3-0 lead. They tacked on three more in the fifth before the Dirtbags could answer.
 
Juaron Watts-Brown got the start on the mound for LBSU and struggled, allowing three runs (two earned) in four innings of work. He was tagged for the loss, moving to 0-2 on the season. Marques Johnson was the next Dirtbag to pitch, allowing the other three runs in 1.1 innings of work.
 
Long Beach State tried to rally back with two runs in the sixth thanks to four hit by pitches and a walk to go along with an RBI groundout from Peyton Schulze. Their third run of the ballgame came in the eighth as Tyler Porter doubled down the left field line to score Sebastian Murillo.


 
Overall the Dirtbags' offense could not get anything going against Hawai'i starter, Buddie Pindel, who tossed five shutout innings. The right-hander surrendered just three hits and a walk while striking out three.
 
Long Beach State's 11-game home stretch has come to an end as they will hit the road for a midweek against Fresno State on Tuesday night.
