COLLEGE ROUNDUP : UC Riverside Beats Titans, Stops Winning Streak at 11

Jim Doyle’s single with two outs in the bottom of the ninth drove in Sean Kicherer to give host UC Riverside a 7-6 victory over Cal State Fullerton Tuesday. The loss stopped the Titans’ 11-game winning streak.

Fullerton led, 6-5, entering the bottom of the ninth. Riverside had two on and two out when Titan relief pitcher Ted Silva struck out Dan Redington. But catcher Brian Loyd’s passed ball allowed Redington to reach base, and after Silva hit third baseman Scott Laverty to tie it, 6-6, Doyle delivered the game-winning hit.

The second-ranked Titans (12-2) rallied for two runs in the ninth inning on a suicide squeeze by designated hitter Bret Hemphill and a sacrifice fly by Jim Betzsold.

Jeff Ferguson had two hits and scored two runs and Hemphill, Brian King, Jeremy Giambi and D.C. Olsen each had two hits each for Fullerton.

Doyle led Riverside (9-3), an NCAA Division II school, with two hits and two RBIs.
