Malik Clayton had a home run as part of a two-hit game with three runs and three RBI and Isaiah Marquez ws 2-for-4 with three runs scored and three RBI. Cesar Chavez was 2-for-4 with three RBI and two runs scored, while Matthew Piotrowski reached base five times and scored three times.

Cal State LA broke the game open with a six-run fifth inning that included a two-run single by Clayton, a run-scoring single by Penuelas, two groundouts for runs batted in by Ethan Gonzalez and Chavez and a run-scoring double by Jackson.

Stanislaus State scored four times in the sixth inning to pull to within 10-8 with Brent Jacques finally retiring the side to keep the Golden Eagles ahead. Art Ruiz delivered a key two-run single in the bottom of the inning to make it 12-8 and the Golden Eagles scored four times in the seventh and four times in the eighth to extend the lead. Marquez had a two-run single and Penuelas had a two-run double in the seventh and Javy Espinoza had a two-run double, Marquez had a run-scoring single and Penuelas had a sacrifice fly in the eighth.

Jacques allowed four hits and an unearned run over three innings of relief with no walks and five strikeouts, while Michael Gill pitched a scoreless ninth inning to finish up.

Stanislaus State (18-27-1, 14-23 CCAA) rebounded with an 8-3 win in the nightcap. Flavio Perez hit a three-run home run in the third inning to stake the Warriors to a 4-1 lead and Tony Jacob went six strong innings to get the win.
