TURLOCK -- Cal State LA's baseball team got its four-game California Collegiate Athletic Association series at Stanislaus State off to a good start.

The Golden Eagles scored four runs in the third inning and never looked back in a wild 9-4 win over the Warriors in a CCAA game at Warrior Field. Cal State LA (9-10, 4-6 CCAA) picked up its first road victory of the season.

Owen Hunt picked up the win after allowing only five hits and an unearned run over six innings of work. He walked five and struck out four and did quite a job of working out of trouble. The Warriors stranded 11 runners during Hunt's six-inning stint.

In fact, both teams had scoring opportunities, it seemed, almost every inning. The two teams combined for 19 hits, 16 walks, three hit batters and stranded a cobmied 28 runners. Stanislaus State (14-13, 7-10 CCAA) stranded 18 runners, while the Golden Eagles stranded 10.

Hunt was backed up by two scoreless innings of relief by Troy Maki and an adventurous ninth inning from Mikell Chavez, who worked around a pair of errors that led to three unearned runs before it was over.

Nick Atkins, Fabian Moran, Wilem Drozdowski and Kadyn Victorian-Young had two hits each for the Golden Eagles. Mac Cabero had four hits for the Warriors.

The Golden Eagles took the lead with four runs in the third inning. Matthew Piotrowski drew a bases-loaded walk to open the scoring, Andrew Tovar singled in a pair of runs to make it 3-0 and Michael Rosales singled in a run to make it 4-0.

After the Warriors scored a run in the fifth to close to within 4-1, the Golden Eagles struck for four more runs in the sixth to stretch the lead to 8-1. Drozdowski singled in a run, Victorian-Young doubled in two runs and Nick Atkins singled in a run.

Cal State LA made it 9-1 in the ninth when Victorian-Young picked up his third RBI of the game with an infield single.

The Warriors bunched together three hits and a pair of Cal State LA errors to score three times in the ninth, but Chavez shut the door, leaving the bases loaded with a strike out and fly out to end it.

Cal State LA will continue the series on Saturday with a doubleheader in Turlock beginning at 1 p.m.
