How it Happened
- The Seahawks were hitless through 2.1 innings before Jonathan Fernandez and Nick Diaz connected on back-to-back singles. Following a fly out to right, Cristain Sanjuro worked a four-pitch walk to load the bases.
- Gottsacker then cleared the bases with a huge double into the right-center gap to lead the Sand Sharks 3-0. Peter Crocitto followed suit with a double of his own, raising the margin to 4-0.
- Keiser had their 19.1 inning shutout streak ended when Bobby Wenthe went yard in the fourth with a two-run shot.
- The Seahawks got a run back in the bottom half when Casanueva drilled a double down the left field line, scoring courtesy runner, Chad Allen from first.
- KU tacked on a run in the fifth on a Casanueva two-out RBI single through the left-side, plating Sanjuro, who had reached on a leadoff single.
- In the seventh, De La Cruz pushed a run across with a two-out single up the middle and Sanjuro capped the Seahawks scoring in the eighth with an RBI single to lead 8-3.
- USCB scored one final run in the ninth but it wasn't enough as the Seahawks completed the three-game sweep to open conference play.
