Long Beach State outhits the Lancers 14-12
RIVERSIDE, Calif.—California Baptist outlasted Long Beach State 12-8 in baseball action Tuesday night at Totman Stadium.
Van Larson hit a pair of CBU batters with one out in the bottom of the first. Larson bounded back to strike out Josh Paino. Swinging away on a 2-1 count, Matthew McGuire doubled to drive in both runners and give the Lancers a 2-0 advantage. Mitch Simon's one-out double drove in two runs to increase the lead to 4-0 for CBU.
CBU (27-14) starter Ryne Palmer struck out five of the first seven Long Beach State batters he faced before being lifted on a staff day by Ryan Kittredge to begin the top of the third. His first hitter was Armando Briseno, who singled up in the middle. With one out, Nick Marinconz doubled. Ty Borgogno's second home run of the year cut the California Baptist lead to 4-2.
Kyle Ashworth walked on four Kittredge pitches. Connor Charpiot extended his hitting streak to 16 with a blooper to center that sent Ashworth to third. The Lancers called in Noah Smith to replace Kittredge as John Newman Jr. came to the plate. Smith hit Newman with a 0-1 fastball to load the bases. Adrian Lopez doubled into the left field corner, clearing the bases for a 5-4 LBSU lead. After taking third on the throw, Lopez scored on an Alex Champagne single to right.
Briseno opened the top of the fourth with a single to right, and he moved up a base on a Nick Marinconz sacrifice bunt. Borgogno walked before Ashworth was hit by a Cody New 2-1 pitch to load the bases. The Lancers brought in Ryan Delgago to face Charpiot. Charpiot's grounder to short resulted in a 6-4 fielder's choice as Briseno came across for the seventh Long Beach State run.
David Ladjevic relieved Larson to begin the bottom of the fourth as part of the Dirtbags' planned staff day. Ladjevic's first batter, Ryan Kim, reached on an error. Garrett Ostrander walked. Pinch hitter Gunner Antillon walked to load the bases. Simon's grand slam to left returned the lead to the Lancers 8-7. Owen Geiss started the bottom of the fifth for the Dirtbags. CBU loaded the bases with one out before Antillon singled to center to drive in a pair of runs.
Three of the first four Dirtbags recorded hits in the top of the sixth before Charpiot walked with the bases loaded for a 10-8 game. Nathan Hemmerling relieved Ryan Delgado as the bases remained loaded for Newman Jr., who struck out looking on a 2-2 breaking ball. Lopez hit a grounder to Paino at short. His only play was to third, which he was able to complete for a 6-5 final out of the frame.
Champagne bunted for a base hit to lead off the seventh. He advanced to second on a Jack Hammond sac bunt and went to third on a Briseno fly ball to center. Marinconz struck out to end the inning.
The Lancers loaded the bases with three consecutive hits in the bottom of the seventh. Antillon grounded out to second to score Matthew Darr. Jonathan Largaespada, the Dirtbags' fourth pitcher of the night, struck out Simon looking. Michael Carpenter flew out to center to end the inning.
Long Beach State threatened in the ninth. With two outs, Hammond and Briseno both singled. Cole Santander lined out to second to end the game.
