Box Score TURLOCK – There is nothing like a strong pitching performance to set the tone for a four-game series.

Coach Don Parnell and his Coyotes received a stellar effort from senior LHP Kerry Kelley, who threw a complete game with 11 strikeouts in Friday night's 7-3 win at Cal State Stanislaus.

The Coyotes (7-15 overall, 5-8 CCAA) and Warriors play a doubleheader Saturday and a Sunday single game and are then off for a week due to Finals.

Kelley was spectacular in his nine innings. After giving up a run in the first and two in the third, he finished with six straight shutout innings.

Trailing 3-2 through three innings, Aaron Beckley and Spencer Bayless had back-to-back run scoring singles that
highlighted a two-run, six-hit fourth and led 4-3.

Beckley added a run in the sixth after reaching on a double and the Coyotes scored consecutive runs on a sacrifice fly by Brian Lockey and a two-out, RBI single by Nick Oddo.

Nolan Almodovar, William Ouellette, Trevor McMaster and Beckley all had two hits.
