Box Score SAN BERNARDINO -- Cal State L.A.'s baseball team snapped its scoreless string on Thursday, but not its losing streak.

The Golden Eagles, who were blanked in their final two games against Chico State on March 15-16, pushed across a run in the ninth inning, but it wasn't enough in a 4-1 California Collegiate Athletic Association loss at Fiscalini Field. Cal State L.A. (11-15, 9-11 CCAA) dropped its third straight game and has managed only one run in its last three games.

Ryan Santhon kept the Golden Eagles in the game with five scoreless innings before the Coyotes took advantage of a wild pitch on a strikeout, a walk, a hit batter, a wild pitch, an error and an infield single to score three times in the sixth. Santhon allowed only three hits and and one earned run in his six innings. He walked five and struck out three.

The Coyotes added another run in the seventh off David Armas to take a 4-0 lead and that was plenty for Cal State San Bernardino starting pitcher Kerry Kelley, who allowed only seven hits in a complete-game performance. Chris Oropesa pitched a scoreless eighth inning for the Golden Eagles.

Casey Ryan and Kyle Peralta both went 2-for-4 for the Golden Eagles. Trent Zaks scored the only run for Cal State L.A. in the ninth inning.
 
Cal State San Bernardino (9-18, 7-10 CCAA) took advantage of the Cal State L.A. miscues in the sixth. The first run scored on a bases-loaded wild pitch, the second on an error and the third on an infield single by Richard Mount. Nick Oddo's two-out run-scoring double in the seventh gave the Coyotes a 4-0 lead.

Peralta started the Golden Eagles' attempted rally in the ninth inning with a leadoff single. Zaks forced him at second for the first out and moved to second on a groundout by David Trejo. Drew Vanisi then reached on an infield single and Zaks came around to score on a throwing error.

The four-game series will continue with a single game on Friday at 3 p.m. in San Bernardino. The series-concluding doubleheader at Cal State L.A. on Saturday has been moved from a 11 a.m. to a noon start.
