Box Score

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. - Anthony Torres came through with the biggest hit in his young career with the Sea Lions as he singled in the game winning run with two outs in the ninth inning to send Point Loma past Cal State San Bernardino, 2-1, in a non-conference contest on Saturday (Mar. 22).

The game was tied at 1-1 since the fifth inning when Clinton Harwick brought in Trey Hunt on a fielder's choice grounder. PLNU (14-13) then rallied to score its second run, all with two outs. Lucas DiCiccio got things started with a single and then advanced to second on a base hit by Hunt. Torres then laced the ball into left field and DiCiccio scampered around third base with the winning run.

Mickey Dunleavy (2-1) picked up the win with two solid innings of relief in which he gave up just two hits. He even closed out his own victory as the Coyotes made it interesting in the ninth inning with a leadoff single but Dunleavy was able to strand the runner at second base for his second victory of the season.

PLNU used a pitcher by committee early in the game as Kellen Sheppard and Kevin Lillicrop each pitched three innings, and fellow starter Garrett Gooding turned in a scoreless seventh inning.

Cal State San Bernardino set up its staff similarly as well. It used 10 pitchers in the contest. Matt LeVert took the loss after allowing three hits and one run in 1.2 innings of work.

Torres and Hunt each had two hits for the Sea Lions which were outhit 8-7 in the game. Nick Oddo was 3-for-3 with the lone RBI for CSUSB.

Point Loma will now return home to resume PacWest Conference play next Friday against Azusa Pacific. The series will start with a doubleheader on Friday, Mar. 28 at Noon.
