Baseball Loses Game Three at Long Beach State

LONG BEACH, Calif. – Cal State Fullerton let a late lead slip away as Long Beach State took game three, 9-6, to sweep the weekend series. The Titans are now 8-14 on the year and 1-5 in Big West play. 

Fullerton led 6-5 in the seventh inning before Long Beach State scored one run to tie the game. Long Beach scored the go-ahead runs in the bottom of the eighth inning on a three-run home run. 

Derek Turner got his second start of the season and gave up four runs (three earned) on four hits in 1.2 innings pitched. Turner did a good job of limiting the Dirtbags to just one run in the first inning after loading the bases with no outs. 

After falling behind by a run in the first inning, the Titans responded with three runs in the second to take a 3-1 lead. 

Moises Guzman (hit by pitch), Matthew Bardowell (walk) and Tyler Holley (walk), loaded the bases before another hit by pitch on Waldie Perez drove in a run to tie the game at 1-1. 

Eli Lopez then singled up the middle with two outs to bring home Bardowell and Holley and give the Titans a 3-1 lead. 

Long Beach State responded with three runs in the bottom of the second inning to retake a one-run lead, 4-3. 

Fullerton responded with a two-run home run by Holley in the third inning to take a 5-4 lead. For Holley, it's his first career hit and home run. The freshman went 1-for-3 on the day with two runs and two RBI. 

Long Beach State came right back to tie the game in the home half of the third on a sacrifice fly to make it a 5-5 game. 

Alijah Ramos gave the Titans a 6-5 lead in the top of the fifth inning on a single up the middle that brought home Bardowell from second base. 

Andrew Morones had a strong outing in relief, not allowing a single hit in 1.2 innings pitched while walking one batter and striking out two.  

Long Beach came back to tie the game at 6-6 in the seventh inning before a three-run home run in the eighth gave them a 9-6 lead. 

Jason Blood dropped to 1-2 on the year after giving up the go-ahead three run home run in the eighth inning. 

Fullerton is back in action Tuesday as it heads south to face San Diego. First pitch is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. PT.
