CARSON -- Junior shortstop Kyle Davis completed a four-hit day by driving in the winning run in the ninth inning Thursday to give Cal State San Bernardino a 5-4 CCAA conference baseball victory over host Cal State Dominguez Hills.
    The Coyotes are now 10-8 on the season and 6-3 in the CCAA while the Toros, ranked 30th in the nation in the latest D-2 national poll, are now 10-7 overall and also 6-3 in the conference. The two teams play again Friday at 2 p.m. at Toro Field.
    Senior right-hander Bryan W. Hart pitched one inning of relief to get credit for the win with Ian O'Conner retiring the Toros in order in the bottom of the ninth to get the save. Michael Cruz took the loss for the Toros in relief of starter Bret Montgomery.
    Junior Daniel Stenavich started for the Coyotes and went 5.1 innings, yielding eight hits and three runs while striking out two. Chad Borowski and Jorge Dryjanski also saw action on the mound in relief before Hart and O'Connor finished up.
    CSUSB staked Stenavich to a 2-0 lead in the top of the fourth on a two-run double by Jesus Beltran off Montgomery. The Toros got a run back in the fifth on back to back doubles by Dean Benavidez and John Skala, then scored two in the sixth to take a 3-2 lead on a run-scoring double by Jon Alia and an RBI single by Sean Beckley.
    The Coyotes tied the game at 3-3 in the seventh on Jordan Lowe's RBI single off Cruz and went ahead 4-3 in the eighth on a sacrifice fly by Cody Madison that plated Johnnie Haas who reached base on an error and made his way around to third.
    Alia tied the game with one swing in the bottom of the eighth, taking Hart's pitch over the fence for a home run after a previous Toros batter had reached base but his pinch runner was picked off first by Hart.
    That set up Davis for his game-winning hit in the ninth. Andrew Tapia, running for catcher Chris Olsen who was hit by a pitch, took second on a single by Brent Planck and then scored on Davis's single to center.
    Freshman DH Darren Dworak was two-for-three and Lowe was two-for-five in a 13-hit Coyotes attack.  Paul Klingsberg was two-for-three and Alia was three-for-four with two RBI and two runs scored for the Toros.
