LBSU scores twice in the seventh and twice in the eighth
LONG BEACH, Calif.--Long Beach State twice in the seventh and twice again in the eighth to defeat Milwaukee 4-1 Saturday night at Bohl Diamond at Blair Field.
Milwaukee took the lead in the top of the first on a Justin Hausser RBI single.
Connor Charpiot doubled to lead off the second and would move to third on a two-out Adrian Montilva wild pitch, but Montilva struck out Armando Briesno to end the inning. Jack Collins walked with one out in the third. The Panthers turned a 5-4-3 double play to quiet the Dirtbags.
A Kellan Montgomery pitch hit Dallan Quigley to begin the fifth. Roessler's sacrifice bunt advanced Quigley to second. Adrian Lopez just missed coming up with Sean Tillmon's shot to the left side. Quigley had to freeze, and he stayed at second. Montgomery picked off Quigley at second to erase the lead runner. Hausser grounded into a 6-4 fielder's choice for the final out.
Montgomery struck out seven for the second consecutive start. He scattered five hits in six innings before giving way to Grant Cherry to start the seventh. Tai Walton was Cherry's first batter, reaching on a two-base LBSU error. Cherry struck out Teige Lethert before walking Quigley. Roessler flew out to right. Tillmon popped out to second to end the frame.
Montilva retired 10 in a row before Kyle Ashworth led off the bottom of the seventh with a single up the middle. Montilva struck out Cole Santander for the first out. Charpiot reached on an error by Quigley, the right fielder. A Montilva wild pitch moved both runners up a base. Jack Hammond appeared to pop out to second, but the ball went off Tyler Bickers' glove, allowing Ashworth to tie the game. With runners on the corners, Lopez went down in the count 1-2 when Hammond stole second. A Lopez sac fly plated Charpiot for the lead. Tyler Deleskiewicz relieved Montilva and hit pinch hitter Nolan Funke with a pitch. Alex Champaigne grounded out to second to wrap up matters.
Collins walked to lead off the eighth. Ty Borgogno's sacrifice bunt moved to Collins to second. An Ashworth single to left pushed Collins to third. Ashworth stole second on the first pitch to Santander. With the infield in, Santander's liner was snagged by Roessler at short for the second out. Charpiot's opposite-field single through the right side drove in both runs.
Long Beach State closer Mike Villani came on to begin the ninth. Villani struck out Q Phillips to start the inning but issued a walk to Walton. Lethert grounded out to second, which allowed Phillps to head to second. Pinch hitter Carson Hansen struck out to end the game.
The three Dirtbags pitchers combined for a five-hitter and 10 strikeouts. Ashworth and Charpiot combined for the four LBSU hits (two each). Bickers was 2-for-4 for the Panthers.
Long Beach State (7-1-1) and Milwaukee (0-8) conclude the series Sunday afternoon beginning at Noon.
