SALEM, Ore. -- Center fielder Danny Susdorf and shortstop Garrett Tuck each drove in four runs as UC San Diego eliminated top-seed Western Oregon 11-1 Friday in the NCAA Division II West Regional at Volcanoes Stadium in Keizer, Ore.

Both players had two-run singles in a five-run second inning. Susdorf also had a RBI single in the third and then during a five-run seventh, Susdorf had another RBI single and Tuck plated two more with a one-base hit.

While the Tritons (33-23) were pounding four WOU pitchers for 15 hits, Ryan Goodbrand allowed just five hits to the Wolves (40-11), including a RBI single in the sixth by Bo Folkinga, who earned his 68th RBI of the year, falling one short of the GNAC single-season record.

Goodbrand, who improved to 11-0, didn't walk a batter and struck out six. Folkinga had two of WOU's five hits including a one-out double in the ninth inning.
