THOUSAND OAKS, CALIF. – Blake Wink's two-run single broke a 1-1 tie in the bottom of the seventh and host California Lutheran defeated nationally 20th-ranked Cortland, 4-2, in a non-league baseball contest.
 
Cortland (4-6) and Cal Lutheran (8-3), which is among the others receiving votes in the D3baseball.com national poll, will conclude their three-game series Sunday at 1 p.m. Pacific (4 p.m. Eastern) at CLU.
 
Will McCarthy (Farmingdale) started for Cortland and took a no-decision after allowing only four hits and one run over six innings. He struck out four and didn't walk anyone. John Frazier earned the win for the Kingsmen with seven innings of four-hit ball. He walked four, struck out three and allowed one run. Joshua Kim, the second CLU reliever, earned his third save after allowing just one walk in the ninth.
 
Cal Lutheran took a 1-0 lead in the first on a hit batter, a sac bunt, a wild pitch and a Kai Caranto sac fly. Cortland tied the game in the sixth when Mat Bruno (Rye) walked with two outs and scored on a Dylan Mackenzie (Canandaigua/Canandaigua Academy) double down the left field line.
 
The hosts took the lead for good in the bottom of the seventh off Cortland reliever Dylan Beers (Woodbury/Monroe-Woodbury). Alec Garcia led off with a double and, with one out, Gordon Richardson doubled but Garcia had to hold at third not knowing if the ball would be caught. Beers struck out the next batter before Wink hit a two-run single to center.
 
Cortland got a run back in the top of the eighth. Chris Bonacci (Syracuse/West Genesee) singled and Nick Chemotti (Syracuse/West Genesee) was hit by a pitch. Bonacci eventually scored on JJ DeLawder's (Hyde Park/Franklin D. Roosevelt) sac fly. The Kingsmen responded in the bottom of the inning on a Sebastian Smith RBI single.
