It is the longest single-season streak since Jorge Bojorquez did so in 19 straight in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Poturnak led-off the fourth inning with a single to make it 11 straight with a hit and notch his 12th consecutive game reaching base safely. The 11-game run is the longest active streak by a Hornet after teammate <a href=\"https:\/\/hornetsports.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/erick-dessens\/10980\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"10980\" target=\"_blank\">Erick Dessens<\/a> had his 12-game streak snapped on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Freshman <a href=\"https:\/\/hornetsports.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/sam-harry\/10976\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"10976\" target=\"_blank\">Sam Harry<\/a> and sophomore <a href=\"https:\/\/hornetsports.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/jamie-mullin\/10294\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"10294\" target=\"_blank\">Jamie Mullin<\/a> added the only other hits for the Hornets on the day with singles in the first and second innings, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Sacramento State (9-16) took advantage of a Jayhawk miscue to get on the scoreboard first in the opening frame as Harry reached on a single, moved to second on a ground ball, and scored when Poturnak&#8217;s potential inning-ending grounder was thrown away, allowing Harry to score from second for the 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n<p>Kansas (16-8) was stymied by Hornet starter <a href=\"https:\/\/hornetsports.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/chase-sorlie\/10296\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"10296\" target=\"_blank\">Chase Sorlie<\/a>, who did not allow a hit in 3.1 innings of work, working around three walks and a hit batter to strand three. He was stuck with the no decision, however, as the Jayhawks finally got on the board on a three-run home run off reliever <a href=\"https:\/\/hornetsports.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/jackson-halverson\/10300\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"10300\" target=\"_blank\">Jackson Halverson<\/a> (2-2) in the fourth to break up the no-hitter and take the lead for good.<\/p>\n<p>Kansas then added five more runs in the fifth and three in the seventh to cap the scoring.<\/p>\n<p>The Hornets had chances to tack on to their early lead, but stranded two in the second and two in the fourth en route to seven overall for the game.<\/p>\n<p>Game two of the midweek series begins at 1 p.m. PT on Wednesday (March 25). Sacramento State then heads to Omaha, Neb., for a three-game weekend series at Creighton beginning Friday (March 27) and running through Sunday (March 29).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; &#13; Next Game: at Kansas 3\/25\/2026 | 1 PM PT &#13; ESPN+ &#13; &#13; Mar. 25&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":236120,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[121,123,122],"class_list":["post-236119","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\/236119","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=236119"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236119\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/236120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=236119"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=236119"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=236119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
