With runners on second and third and no one out, Reimer scored the second run of the inning after a passed ball by Spartan catcher Mark Bautista.

In game two, San Jose State tied the contest at 1-1 in the ninth before Acha ended the game with a walk-off homer in the 10th inning to give the Hornets a 2-1 win.

Sacramento State led 1-0 in the third after Acha recorded an RBI double down the left-field line. With one out in the inning, freshman Jim Strombach single to right field and would move to second after a single by Reimer down the left-field line. With two outs, Acha pulled a ball down the left-field line to give the Hornets the lead.

Senior Steve Correa held the Spartans scoreless through 8.1 innings but gave way to junior Chris Kinsey to save the game. With two outs and a man on second and third, Aaron Bates pulled a single passed junior Mikela Olsen in the hole to tie the contest at 1-1.

With two outs in the 10th, Acha drove an 0-1 pitch over the left-center wall to give the Hornets their second extra-inning win of the season.

Kinsey (6-5) earned the win after pitching a perfect 10th inning. Correa allowed one run on six hits while walking one and striking out two in 8.1 innings of work.

Acha led the Hornet offense on the day after going 4-for-9 with a double, a home run, a run and three RBI in both games. Olsen (3-for-5) and Strombach (2-for-4) also led the squad in game two.
