SAN FRANCISCO — Cal State East Bay jumped to a four-run lead but (RV) San Francisco State rallied late and walked off with a win, 5-4, in the 10th inning Friday at Maloney Field, handing the Pioneers their sixth straight defeat in a CCAA series opener. A wild pitch allowed the winning run to score for the Gators.

Dominick Najar singled in the first inning, stole second and reached third on a fielder's choice in which Camron Grant reached base. After Najar was thrown out at the plate when Danelle Daniels hit into a fielder's choice, an ensuing throwing error let Grant race home for a 1-0 lead.

Najar's second single and steal of the day set the table in the thrid inning. Gio Martini drove him in with an RBI single up the middle, Grant ripped a double to left-center to send Martini to third, and Luke Brown followed with a two-run single for a 4-0 cushion.

Jackson Wood opened the bottom of the fifth with a double and scored on Stephen Espinoza's single to put the Gators on the board.

SF State added a run in the bottom of the sixth on an RBI single from Justin Johnson, and closed the margin in the bottom of the eighth on an RBI groundout by Wood. 

In the bottom of the ninth with one out, Daniel Santos tied the game at 4-4 with a solo home run. 

After a scoreless top of the 10th, SF State won when Michael Cunningham scored the winning run on a wild pitch to complete a comeback with five unanswered runs. 

• Grant's third-inning double extended his hitting streak to 17 games.
• Najar stole two bases, giving him 19 on the season, second-most in the CCAA.
• Max Gonzales worked 7.0 innings with two strikeouts. 
• East Bay turned two double plays and collected 12 hits.
