Carpinteria had the winning run at the plate in the seventh inning, but Dunn’s Shannon Carroll got the final out to preserve a 7-4 non-league victory on Saturday.
In the 7th, the Earwigs capitalized on four walks, four hits, and an error to take the lead 7-2.
The Warriors (7-13) scratched back and scored a pair of runs before loading the bases and bringing the winning run to the plate with two outs. Carroll stayed cool and induced a game-ending ground ball.
Tony Vega started on the mound for the Warriors and went two scoreless innings. Malcolm Gordon followed with two scoreless of his own. Robert Warren limited the Earwig scoring to one unearned over his two innings of work.
Carpinteria continues Tri Valley League play with a two-game set against St. Bonaventure next week.
