PLNU left-hander Jack Gonzales, Sea Lions offense produce 11-3 win over Southern Arkansas
That means the NCAA selection committee expected PLNU to be playing Saturday for the national title at the USA Baseball National Training Complex in Cary, N.C.
The Sea Lions return to the field Thursday at 10:30 a.m. PT for the bracket finale. Win, and they play for the championship. Lose, and they get another shot Friday to get there in the double-elimination tournament.“I’m really proud of my guys,” said PLNU head coach Justin James, who was pitching coach at UC San Diego in 2017 when the Tritons played for the Division II national championship. “I really can’t describe just how tough they are. It’s great.
“That’s just what our offense has been doing all year,” said PLNU catcher Easton Waterman, who had a game-high four hits. “We feed off each other’s energy really well. All it takes is one guy to get it going. Once that happens, it’s scary.” Gonzales wasn’t at his best — though it would have been difficult to match his 15-strikeout, seven-inning no-hitter against Concordia two months ago — but the left-hander from El Camino High was plenty good against the Muleriders.
PLNU added a run in the seventh for a 6-2 lead when Waterman scored after teammate Jack Malone bunted for a base hit down the third-base line and the Muleriders threw the ball down the right-field line. A late offensive outburst by PLNU — similar to the one in its opening win over Illinois Springfield — chased away any thoughts Southern Arkansas had about a comeback.
