The first run was set up by a pair of walks to start the inning and the run came home on a single by Joseph DeLanzo. In the fourth, a throwing error allowed the leadoff hitter to reach and he scored on a groundout three batters later.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nSacramento State cut the lead in half with a run of its own in the fourth. <a href=\"https:\/\/hornetsports.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/jace-jeremiah\/10979\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"10979\" target=\"_blank\">Jace Jeremiah<\/a> extended his hitting streak to 10 games with a single to start the inning and he moved to third following a line drive double off the left field wall by <a href=\"https:\/\/hornetsports.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/jakob-poturnak\/10293\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"10293\" target=\"_blank\">Jakob Poturnak<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/hornetsports.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/orlando-cobarrubias\/10295\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"10295\" target=\"_blank\">Orlando Cobarrubias<\/a> drove in Jeremiah with a sac fly.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/hornetsports.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/ryan-ellis\/10977\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"10977\" target=\"_blank\">Ryan Ellis<\/a> started the sixth inning with a 14-pitch at bat which eventually led to a walk after he fouled off 10 pitches. Two hits loaded the bases and Ellis scored on a sac fly from <a href=\"https:\/\/hornetsports.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/jacob-cortez\/10268\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"10268\" target=\"_blank\">Jacob Cortez<\/a> to tie the game. Another walk kept the bases juiced before ULM went to its bullpen and Nolan Geisler induced a 6-4-3 double play to stop the threat.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nUMass Lowell retook the lead in the top of the seventh on a two-out single up the middle by Brayden Cali. The big inning came in the eighth where the team sent 10 hitters to the plate and were gifted four walks and a pair of errors by the Hornets.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nGeisler picked up the win to improve to 1-1 on the season. He went 1.2 innings and did not allow hit. <a href=\"https:\/\/hornetsports.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/konner-entz\/10978\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"10978\" target=\"_blank\">Konner Entz<\/a> suffered a hard-luck loss to fall to 0-1. Entz was one of nine Sacramento State pitchers in the game which combined to walk six and strikeout five.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nThe Hornets will have a quick turnaround as the team will welcome Pacific on Wednesday night at 6 p.m. to start a four-game series. The first two games (Wednesday and Friday) will be in Sacramento while the final two on the weekend will take place in Stockton.<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; &#13; Next Game: Pacific 3\/11\/2026 | 6 PM &#13; ESPN+ &#13; &#13; Mar. 11 (Wed) \/&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":214481,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[121,123,122],"class_list":["post-214480","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sacramento","tag-sacramento","tag-sacramento-headlines","tag-sacramento-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214480","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=214480"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214480\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/214481"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=214480"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=214480"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=214480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
