Complete Box Score - Game 2

LOS ANGELES -- Cal State L.A. pitchers Chris Johnson and Cameron Gianetti tossed complete games, while CSUDH's Chris Ingstad threw one of his own, as Cal State L.A. and Cal State Dominguez Hills (12-12 CCAA, 21-17-1) split a Tuesday doubleheader at Reeder Field in an afternoon dominated by top pitching performances. CSLA won the opener, 7-1, before CSUDH held on for a 1-0 victory in the nightcap.

In game one, CSUDH opened the scoring with a lone run in the top of the first inning when Joe Gevas' single drove home Mike Milstead for a 1-0 lead. Cal State L.A. answered in the bottom half of the inning as Rashawn Owens' single to right drove home Steve Isbell with the tying run.

CSLA took the lead in the second inning as Matt Beard opened the frame with a double to right and scored on Tim Wilkerson's single for a 2-1 lead. The margin increased to 3-1 when Jason Martini launched a moon-shot over the right field wall, his seventh homer of the season, to leadoff the third inning. Offensively, the Golden Eagles scored one run in each of the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, seventh and eighth innings.

On the hill, CSLA sophomore Chris Johnson kept the Toros off balance, fanning nine batters and scattering six hits in the complete-game victory, the second time this year he has gone the distance. Brad Allen took the loss for CSUDH, allowing four runs and eight hits in three-plus innings.

Game two featured top pitching efforts by CSLA's Cameron Gianetti and CSUDH's Chris Ingstad. The game was scoreless until the fourth inning when Toro third baseman Damien Lopez drew a one-out walk and came home two batters later on a double to right-center by Tony Marquez. That would prove to be the only run of the game as both pitchers went the distance.

Ingstad allowed five hits and two walks while fanning six, while Gianetti matched that with a six-hit, two-walk, five-strikeout effort in the hard-luck loss.

CSUDH returns to action this weekend hosting Cal State Stanislaus in a four-game series while Cal State L.A. hosts Hawaii Pacific this Saturday (April 6) in an 11 a.m. doubleheader at Reeder Field.
