The Bulldogs won the opener, 6-5.

The Rainbows (25-15 overall, 6-6 WAC) drop to fourth place in the conference. The Bulldogs (23-19, 8-4) took two of three in the series, winning both games in the bottom of the ninth.

Clayton Allison (7-3), who lasted just one-plus innings in a start Friday night, pitched three scoreless innings of relief, allowing two hits and striking out five for FSU. Tyler Davis (5-1) suffered his first setback of the season.

In the bottom of the ninth against Davis, Ozzie Lewis led off with a bloop single to center and took second on Alan Ahmady's sacrifice. Tommy Mendonca was intentionally walked. Ryan Overland came in to pinch-hit for Dan Grubb and grounded out to first to advance the runners. Sandell then singled to left to score Lewis with the winning run.

Neither starter figured in the decision. Ian Harrington went 6 2/3 innings, allowing two runs and seven hits with four strikeouts for UH. Tanner Scheppers allowed three runs (two earned), seven hits and a walk with four strikeouts for FSU.

The Bulldogs jumped on Harrington in the first for one run. Erik Wetzel led off with a single, took second on a sacrifice and scored on Brian Lapin's single to center. But the Rainbows tied it in the second. Evan Zimny reached on a chop single to third, and took third when Kevin Macdonald reached on a two-base fielding error by right fielder Ozzie Lewis. Zimny scored when Landon Hernandez grounded out to short.

Hawai'i took the lead in the fifth on Brandon Haislet's two-run home run to make it 3-1.

Fresno State pulled to within one in the seventh. Lewis doubled, took third on a sacrifice and scored when Tommy Mendonca grounded out to second.
