This week’s CCAA Tournament: The field for the 2008 California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Baseball Championships is set. The four-team tournament will open Thursday at Chico State’s Nettleton Stadium.
            Sonoma State (42-12, 26-8) captured the regular-season title and will be the tournament’s No. 1 seed. UC San Diego (41-14, 25-11) is the second seed while Chico State (37-13, 24-11) and Cal State Stanislaus (36-19, 24-12) are seeded third and fourth, respectively.
            The Seawolves, who were ranked as high as No. 2 in the country earlier this year, will face Cal State Stanislaus in Thursday’s tournament-opener that begins at 3 p.m. UC San Diego and Chico State will play the day’s second game at 7 p.m.
            The double-elimination tournament continues on Friday with three games, including a pair of elimination contests, and concludes on Saturday with the championship game scheduled for noon. A second game, if necessary, will follow approximately 30 minutes following the conclusion of the first game.
            Three of the four teams that competed in the 2007 CCAA Championships, return to postseason play this year. Sonoma State, which defeated UC San Diego, 15-5, in last year’s championship game, will look to defend its conference title and win its fifth championship in 10 tournament appearances.

About CS Stanislaus Game 1: Senior A.J. Cavaletto (Santa Barbara) led a host of big plays Friday with a 2-for-4 effort and three RBI and closer Sean Hunter secured the win with two innings of scoreless relief as Cal Poly Pomona defeated Cal State Stanislaus 7-6.
            Bronco starter Ryan Screnar (Claremont) gave his team seven solid innings as he struck out six batters, walked one and scattered nine hits. He allowed six runs – five earned – and improved to 3-2 on the season.
            The Broncos, who trailed 1-0 entering their half of the first inning, answered off Warrior starter Eric Federico in the first initial at-bat with three runs. Senior Kyle Boggio (Santa Clarita) led off with a single. One out later, junior Chris Brehm (Murrieta) walked and senior John Daniels drove in Boggio with a single. Cavaletto then singled up the middle and scored both Brehm and Daniels.
            David Contreras added a solo homer in the third for the Warriors and his team later tied the game at 3-3 with an unearned run in the fourth.
            Tied at 3-3 in the fourth, Boggio reached base on an error by the second baseman and senior Andres Fernandez (San Fernando) and freshman Joe Villa (Hacienda Heights) both scored and the Broncos led 5-3.
            The Warriors tied the game at 5-5 in the fifth and Josh Potter (Orange) put the Broncos back on top in the fifth with a fielder’s choice that scored Daniels, who led off the inning with a double.
            The Warriors tied the game at 6-6 in the seventh as Wolfe hit a one-out triple and scored on Oketani’s sacrifice fly to right.
            But the Broncos grabbed the lead for good in the seventh. Cavaletto earned his third RBI of the day with a one-out single that scored Daniels, who reached on base.
            Hunter was extremely effective in relief. He set the Warriors down in order in the eighth, but the ninth was interesting.
            He forced lead-off pinch-hitter Dante Palacio to ground out to second, but gave up a double to Kyle Loretelli. After a walk to Contreras, Hunter struck out Wolfe looking setting up the play of the game.
            Oketani laced a shot to the right-hand side of shortstop Joe Villa, who looked to get the force at second. When he couldn’t make the play, he then stepped forward and threw to catcher Andres Fernandez, who was able to put the tag on Loretelli to end the game.

Game 2 and 3: Marquis Fleming threw five innings of no-hit ball and teammate Andrew Steuve threw a five-hit shutout as Cal State Stanislaus swept a pair of ballgames from Cal Poly Pomona on Saturday, 15-5 in the opener and 11-0 in the second game.
            In the opener, the Broncos trailed 3-0 after the first inning and answered right back with three runs of their own. Senior A.J. Cavaletto reached base on a fielder’s choice that scored senior Jason Jordan, who reached on a single. Then Chris Wilson added a run-scoring single that scored senior John Daniels, who walked and junior Josh Potter had an RBI single that scored Cavaletto.
            But Fleming then shut down the Broncos over the next five innings. He retired the next 12 batters and finished with four strikeouts, five walks, and four hits.
            In the second game, the Broncos allowed five runs in the first inning and never were in the game. Frank Klopp (junior, Oceanside) had the only extra-base hit for the Broncos off Steuve – a double in the ninth.

Game 4: Senior Andres Fernandez had three RBI and junior Chris Wilson went 3-for-3, but the Cal Poly Pomona Broncos closed the 2008 season with a 13-8 loss.
            The Warriors led a hit barrage with 18 hits that included seven extra-base hits and three home runs. They scored multi-runs in six innings for the victory.
            Trailing 2-0 entering the second inning, the Broncos tied the game. Fernandez hit a two-run single that scored junior Josh Potter (Orange), who reached on a walk, and Wilson, who singled.
            The Warriors would go on to a 6-2 in the fourth and Cal Poly Pomona cut the lead to 6-3 in the fourth. Senior Kyle Boggio’s two-out single scored Wilson, who reached on a single.
            The Warriors added two runs in the sixth and two in the seventh to lead 10-3, but Cal Poly Pomona mounted a comeback with a four-run, five-hit attack in the seventh. Five straight singles by Boggio, senior Jason Jordan, senior Matt Davidson (Laguna Hills), senior John Daniels  and senior A.J. Cavaletto put the Broncos in contention. All but Cavaletto scored and the Broncos trailed 10-7 entering the eighth.
            But the Warriors answered right back in the eighth. The decisive blow was a three-run homer by Fontville with a little help from Broncos left fielder John Daniels. Fontville delivered a high shot to deep left. Daniels went back to the warning track and as he was about to make the catch over the wall, the ball hit his glove and he hit the fence at the same time and the ball dropped then over.
            The Broncos added a run in the ninth – freshman Joe Villa (Hacienda Heights) singled in Potter, who opened the inning with a single.
