CARSON, Calif.--Joe Gevas hit a two-run walk-off home run deep over the rightfield wall to give the CSUDH alumni a thrilling 7-5 win over the 2004 Cal State Dominguez Hills Toros. The blast was Gevas' second home run of the game.

The current CSUDH jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead in the first four innings, but the alum's tied the game in the fifth with three runs, two of them coming off the bat of former great Marc Gutfeld who deposited a two-run blast down the left field line to knot the score, 3-3.

Gevas gave the alums a 4-3 lead with his first homer of the day, a deep shot over the right-center field fence in the seventh inning. But the 2004 Toros came right back in the top of the eighth taking the lead 5-4 with hits from Daniel Pilimai, Joey Caira and a sacrifice fly from Ricky Eda.

The alums sent the game into extra-innings on an RBI groundout from Steve Hindman in the bottom of the ninth. That set up Gevas' heroics in the bottom of the tenth.

The 2004 Toros are back in action on Tuesday when they host Concordia University (CA) at Toro Field. First pitch is set for 2 PM.
