USF jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the bottom half of the second stanza when three doubles by Pete Santora, Jerry Bloodsaw, and Mike Sears were combined with walks to Lindsay Yoshimura and Don Doughty, and a single by Tom Lounibus. Chico State retaliated with their two runs in the top of the fourth, but the Dons answered with five of their own a few minutes later. In that frame, lead off hitter Mitch Kim walked Sears, Fred Reid, and Yoshimura singled in sequence, Santora walked and Bloodsaw collected his second and third runs batted in with a single.
Monday, USF hosted Cal State Hayward and used the home team sudden death advantage to edge out the Pioneers, in the bottom of the ninth with two outs, 5-4. Reggie Brown provided the winning hit, a single to right, with Mitch Kim on third, who had walked, Larry Belardi on second, who singled, and Don Doughty at first who received an intentional pass. USF had jumped on Hayward for three first inning runs on doubles by sophomore catcher Pat Cremin and Belardi with Mike Sears and Kim on the bags. The other Don run came in the seventh, tying the score at four. Kim singled to center and scored on a Doughty RBI single (TheFoghorn).
