FRESNO, Calif. -Tory Davis went 2-for-4 with four RBIs including a two-run homer in the seventh inning to help lead the Bulldogs to a 9-7 victory over San Francisco Sunday at Beiden Field.

The Roseville, Calif., native also smacked a two-run double in the fifth inning to account for his team season high four RBIs. Davis batted .500 (3-for-6) with two homers and seven RBIs for the series.
The Bulldogs plated five runs in the second inning to open up a 5-0 lead off USF starter Tony Biale (1-2). Fresno State opened the frame with three straight hits and tallied a season-high tying four in the inning including run-scoring singles by junior infielders Chris Patrick and Ryan Haag.
Fresno State starter Cody Smith (1-1) struck out four and allowed four runs over five innings to earn his first collegiate victory.
Nick Cirbo clubbed his second homer of the season and went 1-for-3 with three RBIs to lead the Dons' offensive attack.
The Bulldogs return to action next weekend when they travel to Malibu, Calif., for a three game set at Pepperdine.
