RIVERSIDE, Calif. - Harrison Ramey's sacrifice fly in the top of the 10th lifted the Point Loma baseball team over PacWest-leader California Baptist, 7-6, in the opener, but the Sea Lions had to settle for a doubleheader split after the Lancers took finale, 10-5 (Apr. 23).
 
PLNU is now 24-16 on the season and 13-13 in conference. California Baptist remains in first place in the PacWest at 23-5 (33-9 overall).
 
Game 1
Harrison Ramey's 10th inning sacrifice fly to score Colby Kaneshiro completed the Sea Lions' 7-6 victory in the opener.
 
Kaneshiro had a one-out single then Tanner Handa and AJ Derr drew back-to-back walks to set up the runner at third and less than one out situation for Ramey, who delivered the game-winning run and his 19th run batted in of the season.
 
Even before Ramey untied the game in extra innings, PLNU had to comeback two different times to force extras. Point Loma originally fought back from a 1-0 deficit with a four-run fifth inning highlighted by AJ Derr's 0-2 double and Matt Jervis' bases loaded walk. That lead would be short-lived as CBU scored five in its half of the fifth to go back on top 6-4 where it remained until the top of the eighth when Mike Gorder's two-run shot tied the game at 6-6.
 
Gordner was the only Sea Lion to record a multi-hit game, but eight of the nine starters had a hit. He finished 2-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and a run scored. Antonio Chavarria and Ryan Williams each had three hits for the Lancers.
 
John Shurance (1-0) earned the win out of the bullpen with three scoreless innings of relief. He allowed just two hits and a walk while striking out two to keep CBU off the scoreboard while the Sea Lions mounted their comeback. Brody Robinson (0-1) took the loss for the Lancers after being charged with two hits, two walk and the game-winning run in two innings of work.
 
Game 2
California Baptist scored in each of the first four innings to build a 10-2 lead in the seven-inning series finale and went on to win 10-5.
 
Mark Sanchez, the offensive hero from the game at Angels Stadium, went 3-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored. AJ David was 2-for-4 with a double, home run and also drove in a pair of runs.
 
Kellen Sheppard hit his fifth home run of the season for Point Loma in the top of the seventh to drive in a pair of runs. Tanner Handa was 2-for-3 as was the only Sea Lion to have a multi-hit game.
 
Travis Booth (4-4) earned the win for CBU. He went 5.2 innings allowing three hits and three runs (two earned) while walking five and striking out three. Nathan Bennett (2-1) took his first loss of the season for PLNU.
