Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 SAN BERNARDINO (March 12, 2016) -- Putting the ball in play gives teams a chance at winning and Damion Edmonds came through when he accomplished that feat.

With the bases loaded and one out in the bottom of the ninth, Edmonds sent a sharp liner to short that had the makings of an inning-ending double play.

Only that didn't happen.

Two runs came in when an errant throw from second base and CSUSB earned a split in Saturday's doubleheader.

The Coyotes (11-14, 6-7 overall) and Wildcats complete their weekend series that was moved from Chico to San Bernardino due to weekend rain in Northen California.
