Keone Cabinian bounced back from a rough opening-day start to absolutely deal in College of San Mateo’s 1-0 extra-inning win over Diablo Valley College Tuesday at Bulldog Field.

Cabinian took a no-decision after working seven shutout innings before giving way to Jonny Palsha, who faced just one over the minimum through three innings of shutout relief to earn the win. His record improves to 1-1.

The Bulldogs (2-2) took a scoreless tie into the bottom of the 10th inning but loaded the bases with one out before Austin Lonestar produced a sacrifice fly to score Steve Pastora with the game-winning run.

Cabinian worked seven innings, giving up four hits and walking none while striking out five. The sophomore right-hander pitched out of bases-loaded jams in both the third and fourth innings before setting down the last nine batters he faced.

In the third, DVC (1-2) got a one-out rally cooking when Josh Stevens and Ryan Meisenheimer had back-to-back singles and Leo Costa got hit by a pitch to load the bases. But Cabinian battled back by inducing a 4-6-3 double play to keep the shutout in tact.

CSM had its leadoff man reach four times in the game, but could not cash in until its final at-bat. The Bulldogs’ best opportunity was in the fourth when Juan Gonzalez singled to start the frame. Gonzalez was thrown out trying to steal, however, just before Brad Degnan put a one-out triple up the right-center field gap. Degnan was stranded at third though. CSM had left 11 runners on base in the game.

In the 10th, the Bulldogs finally broke through. Pastora led off with a single. The sophomore third baseman was 2 for 5 in the game and is batting .533 (8 for 15) on the season. Makana Lyman followed with a single to move Pastora to third. Then after pinch hitter Tyler Carlson was intentionally walked to load the bases with one out, Lonestar produced his first RBI of the year on a walk-off sacrifice fly to win it.

Next up, CSM travels to Solano College Thursday for a 2 p.m. first pitch.
