History <\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n SACRAMENTO, Calif. \u2014 Sacramento State’s Sam Harry<\/a> extended his team-best hitting streak to 13 games while Erick Dessens<\/a> drove in his team’s lone run on the night as the Hornets and Fresno State were locked in an old-fashioned pitcher’s duel eventually won by the Bulldogs, 2-1, on Tuesday at John Smith<\/a> Field.<\/p>\n Harry, with a single to center in the eighth, kept his career-best hitting streak alive, surpassing the 12-game streaks by Dessens and Jakob Poturnak<\/a> earlier this year. It is the longest streak by a Hornet hitter since Poturnak hit in 14 consecutive games and Cameron Sewell<\/a> did so in 13 straight last season.<\/p>\n Matching zeroes through the first three innings, Sacramento State was the first to get on the board in the fourth as Ryan Ellis<\/a> \u2014 who reached base four times thanks to a double and three walks \u2014 led-off with an extra-base hit and scored four pitches later when Dessens found room on the right side for a single to make it 1-0.<\/p>\n It stayed that way until the seventh as the Bulldogs managed just five base runners through the first six innings, only to leave them stranded. A one-out walk led to a double by Marcus Nolen to tie the game then, with two outs, an error on a ground ball allowed Nolen to come around and score from second to give Fresno State the lead.<\/p>\n The Hornets had their chances to draw even as Harry’s single and a walk to Ellis put two on with one out in the eighth and a two-out walk to Luis Pimentel-Guerrero<\/a> loaded the bases. That brought Poturnak to the plate and he gave an 0-1 pitch a ride to the fence down the right field line only to have the outfielder haul it in on the run to end the inning.<\/p>\n Sacramento State then had the tying run on base in the ninth after a lead-off double by Brett Ott<\/a>, but Fresno State reliever Will Page-Allen struck out two and got a ground ball to end the game and pick up his first save of the year.<\/p>\n Both teams finished with four hits and each stranded seven runners on base on the night as six pitchers from both sides did their best to stymie opposing hitters.<\/p>\n Right-hander Konner Entz<\/a> started for the Hornets and went the first three innings, allowing two hits and striking out three without allowing a run. Kurt Marton<\/a> (2-3) suffered the loss, charged with one earned on one hit and striking out two over his two innings of work.<\/p>\n Ellis’ three walks marked the third time a Hornet has drawn three bases on balls in a game this year after Pimentel-Guerrero did so twice against Saint Joseph’s on Feb. 20 and Winthrop on March 19.<\/p>\n BJ Rodriguez (1-1) picked up the win in relief for the Bulldogs, striking out three and walking one in two innings of work.<\/p>\n
