Santa Paula bested Carpinteria 4-2 for a Frontier League win on Friday.
The Warriors scored both their runs in the top of the seventh inning and had the tying runs on base when the game ended.
Warriors starting pitcher Marcus Hutchinson scattered three hits while allowing one earned run.
“”The late inning heroics may have been too much to hope for but it was good to see the offense apply pressure late in the game,” said Carpinteria head coach Pat Cooney.
Nick Walker drove home Carpinteria’s two runs with a two-out single.
The Warriors (7-9, 5-4) fave Villanova on Wednesday.
