— CSM was down, 9-0, Saturday after three innings but then outscored Ohlone 14-0 over the next four frames.
Andrew Crane started the Bulldogs rally in the fourth, unloading the bases with a 3-RBI double, He later singled home Kodai Yaoita for the Bulldogs last run. Yaoita had four hits on the day and scored three times. John Kane also had three of San Mateo’s 19 hits. Danny Carnazzo homered with Yaoita on based in the sixth inning to put CSM ahead, 11-9.
