It was the fourth consecutive outstanding performance by the awesome senior right hander who has fast become the Don ace of the bullpen. In Saturday's first game not even eleven hits and four runs could halt the hot Reno bats. Santora pounded out two hits including a double as did designated hitter Lindsay Yoshimura. Bob Bachtold added a double and other base hits came from the bats of Brown, Lounibos, second-baseman Mitch Kim and Jerry Bloodsaw. Kim and Lounibos continued their streaks in the second game of the afternoon as did Santora but even those hits coupled with two hits each from center fielder Dennis "Rocky" Carmassi and catcher Kevin Keating were not enough to halt the Reno bunch.
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. With the score 9-2, Sears added his third hit of the afternoon, this time a triple and Yoshimura again delivered, this time with a single for the tenth USF score (TheFoghorn).
