Despite managing just four hits, Cosumnes River capitalized on key opportunities and took advantage of five Folsom Lake errors to complete the comeback win.

In the March 10 contest, the Hawks jumped ahead early, taking a 2-1 lead in the fourth inning behind a two-RBI double from Ryan Okino. However, Folsom Lake responded with consistent offensive pressure and broke the game open with a seven-run eighth inning to pull away for a 14-4 victory.

Brent Martin led the Hawks offensively, going 2-for-5 with two runs scored, while Okino drove in two runs on his double. Jimmy Radler added a hit and scored, and Angelo Nunes and Guadalupe Gonzalez each recorded an RBI.

Cosumnes River totaled six hits and drew six walks in the contest but was unable to contain Folsom Lake's offense, which finished with 13 hits and 14 runs.

The Hawks showed resilience throughout the series, highlighted by their late-game execution and strong pitching performance in the home victory.

Cosumnes River will look to carry that momentum into their next Big 8 Conference matchup.
