SDSU Extends Streak to 18 With 11-4 Win

The San Diego State baseball team extended its winning streak to 18 games Tuesday by beating UC Irvine, 11-4, in a nonconference game in Anteater Stadium at Irvine.

Lance Pinnell was 2 for 3 with a double and a triple, two runs scored and four runs batted in for SDSU (37-13-1), which is tied with the 1979 team for the school’s second-longest streak. The school record of 24 straight victories was set in 1983.

Anthony Johnson was 3 for 5 with an RBI. Jack Skoog (2-0), one of six SDSU pitchers, relieved starter Greg Page in the fourth inning and got the victory.

John Seeburger and Mike Goodcase both had two hits for UC Irvine (26-25-1).

Parris Sorianello hit a three-run home run in the third inning and drove in another run as the University of San Diego (24-28) had 20 hits to defeat NAIA opponent Master’s College, 15-3, at Cunningham Stadium.

It was Sorianello’s seventh home run. Sean Baron also hit his seventh home run with the bases empty in the fifth.

Master’s College (20-23) used six pitchers. Nine USD players had hits, led by Mark Trafton and Andy Roberts, who each had three.

Padre Manager Larry Bowa, who, with sportswriter Barry Bloom, has written a book about the 1987 Padre season entitled “Bleep,” will have his only scheduled signing party today at noon at the Harcourt Brace Jovanovich Bookstore, 1255 5th Ave.
