SAVANNAH, Ga. — Darin Gorski (jr. Mount Joy/Donegal) threw eight innings of two-hit ball in the Golden Bears 4-2 win over California (Pa.) at the Savannah Invitational.

The Golden Bears (12-3) started off the scoring with two runs in their half of the second inning. James Quigley (so. Bensalem/Bensalem) got things started with a double and scored on a balk. Shayne Houck (fr. Boyertown/Boyertown) scored on a sacrifice fly by Jeff Kistle (so. Sandyston, N.J./Kittatinny).

The Vulcans (4-3) answered back with one run in the second and tied it up 2-2 in the fourth inning. Gorski scattered two hits in eight innings, while striking out eight to improve to 3-0 on the season.

KU took a 3-2 lead in the sixth after Houck reached on a two-out single. Jared Frey (so. Mohrsville/Schuylkill Valley) singled, and an error during the play allowed Houck to score. The lead extended to 4-2 in the top of the eighth with a sacrifice fly by catcher Matt Kulbacki (jr. Hershey/Hershey).

Jason Herr (so. Harrisburg/C.D. East) pitched the ninth for his third save, allowing only one hit and striking one batter out.
