Wes Dorrell hit a two-run homer at the most opportune time and Michael Rivera was dominant out of the bullpen as Fresno Pacific came from behind to defeat CSU Monterey Bay 7-4 in game two of Saturday's doubleheader. The Sunbirds (5-4) took two out of three from the Otters (1-6) this weekend.

Dorrell crushed a two-run shot to right, the first FPU home run of the season, in the top of the 6th inning to tie the game at three after Tyler Pryor tripled. With Rivera holding down the Otters, striking out seven in three innings, FPU would take advantage in the 8th.

Alec Mehrten singled to load the bases after two runners got on with one out. David Hawes then came through with the big hit, a two-RBI double to center field. Trent Soares then drove in two more with a single to make it 7-3.

The Otters would tack on an unearned run in the ninth, but Rivera struck out the last two batters swinging to end it.

Game 1 Box Score

Fresno Pacific gave up three runs in each of the first two innings, falling 6-2 in game one of a doubleheader at CSU Monterey Bay on Saturday. Matt Mazzoni took the loss for FPU, his first of the season. The Sunbirds were limited to five hits in the loss.

Mazzoni was touched up for six runs in two innings pitched. The Sunbirds scored once in the top of the 3rd when Blaine Taylor came across on an error, but that was all the team would manage until the 9th inning when Taylor singled and came around to score on a single by David White.

The Sunbirds got solid relief pitching from Greg Kilgore and Steven Lozier, who combined to throw six scoreless innings, but the Otters got six innings of quality relief from Paul Brock, who struck out six and earned the win.
