Baseball: Bulldogs Snap Four-Game Skid with Win at COS

VISALIA, Calif. - The Allan Hancock College baseball team snapped a four-game losing streak by pulling off an 11-7 victory at College of the Sequoias on Tuesday afternoon. | BOX SCORE

The Giants (2-7) got on the board early with a sacrifice fly in the opening frame that plated one before mid-game heroics pushed the visiting squad ahead. The Bulldogs (5-4) took the lead after two runners capitalized on a COS error in the fourth before surging forward with a five-run rally in the fifth. Isaiah Hernandez sparked the scoring frenzy with an RBI single before four base runners eventually made it home on errors, but Sequoias responded with a pair of runs in the bottom of the frame.

In the sixth, Brayan Nunez plated a runner and found his way home on a passed ball before the Giants scored two with a pair of hits. Both teams scored one run apiece in the seventh after infield ground outs that sent a runner in. Bridger Coleman extended the advantage in the eighth with an RBI single before the hosting Sequoias plated the final runner of the game in the ninth. 

Coleman and Zach Martinez both finished with an efficient 2-for-4 performance at the plate and were both walked twice. Kendlinger led the multi-hit crew with three knocks while Julien Sepulveda, Caelan Dalman, and Nunez also produced two each. 

Cooper Bagby picked up his this start and second win of the season on the bump. He surrendered one earned run while scattering seven hits and punching out three batters through five innings. Lucas Earle and Anthony Lopez combined to close out the final four frames.
