HAYWARD -- Cal State L.A.'s baseball team got a pair of pitching gems in a big California Collegiate Athletic Association doubleheader sweep over Cal State East Bay on Saturday.

Icezack Flemming allowed only a first-inning run and struck out 11 in a 7-1 win in the opener and Ralph Ramirez tossed a two-hit, seven-inning shutout in a 2-0 win in the nightcap at Pioneer Field. Cal State L.A. (18-9, 13-6 CCAA) has won the first three games of a four-game series against Cal State East Bay (7-19, 4-15).

Flemming got the day started for the Golden Eagles with his second straight outstanding start. After going eight strong innings in a win over Cal State Monterey Bay last week, he was even better on Saturday against the Pioneers. After giving up a run in the first inning, he blanked the Pioneers the rest of the way. He allowed 16 straight in one stretch and didn't give up his second hit until the sixth inning. He also gave up singles in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings.

Flemming, who led the NCAA Division II in strikeouts last season at East Central Oklahoma, has reached double digits in strikeouts in his last two starts and has 21 in that span. He has 47 strikeouts for the season.

He was backed by a 17-hit Cal State L.A. attack. Trent Zaks was 3-for-4 with two doubles, two runs scored and two RBI. Kyle Peralta was 3-for-4 and David Trejo, Rodrigo Martinez, Dakota Hernandez and Jake Jelmini had two hits each.

The Golden Eagles trailed 1-0 until scoring three times in the fifth inning on a run-scoring double by Zaks, a run-scoring single by Jesus Cuevas and a sacrifice fly by Hernandez. Cal State L.A. made it 4-1 thanks to a run-scoring double by Jelmini in the seventh, took a 5-1 advantage after a double by Zaks and run-scoring single by Martinez in the eighth and added two more in the ninth. Zaks drew a bases-loaded walk to force in one run and Trejo scored the final run on a wild pitch.

It was all Ramirez in the nightcap. He allowed only a single in the second inning and a double in the fourth inning. Once the Golden Eagles took the lead with two runs in the fifth inning, he shut down the Pioneers on no hits over the final three innings.

The Golden Eagles finally pushed across two runs in the fifth. Trevor Meleski reached on an infield error, Rodrigo Martinez singled and Trejo reached on a bunt single to load the bases. Lawrence Dominguez then delivered a go-ahead single up the middle to break the scoreless tie. Zaks then grounded into a double play as Martinez scored to make it 2-0.

Cal State L.A. will return to action on Sunday with the series finale at Cal State East Bay beginning at 11 a.m.
