When Seagulls (2-0) third year pitcher Branden Petrangelo (San Francisco State) took the mound in game two of the team’s opening day doubleheader he meant business. Petrangelo has been a staple in the Seagulls’ rotation since 2009 and the righty pitched six innings of two-hit baseball as the Gulls beat the Fairfield Indians 5-1. Using a mixture of three pitches Petrangelo struck out seven while allowing just one unearned run.
Newcomers Daniel Filous (Cornell University) and Kory Wallace (Cal State Stanislaus) pitched three scoreless innings in relief to secure the victory. Filous overpowered the Indians with his fastball and worked two quick innings while Wallace closed the door in the ninth.
Offensively, the Seagulls used patience and good plate discipline to manufacture five runs. After pounding out 13 hits in the first game the Seagulls took 13 walks from Fairfield pitchers and made the most of defensive miscues. Eren Miravalles (Canada JC), Nikolas Fangonilo (Miss. Valley State), Nicholas Alexandre (Canada JC) and Dominic Ferrando (Canada JC) each had a hit. Miravalles drew three walks in the game.
Another big key to the Seagulls’ success in 2011 is base running and they showcased some good wheels on opening day. They stole five bases in game two, which was highlighted by Alexandre stealing two.
Next up, the Seagulls will play host to the Menlo Park Legends on Sunday May 29 at Fairmont Field in Pacifica. First pitch is scheduled for Noon.

Branden Petrangelo (6 IP, 1 ER, 2 hits, 7 Ks)
