Fresno State was three outs from its first road victory of the baseball season Thursday, but in the end the Bulldogs were stung by some all-too familiar setbacks.

Those would be errors, walks and hit batters.

Fresno State added four more errors, eight walks and one hit batsman -- giving the Bulldogs 24, 51 and 24 this season -- and couldn't shut the door on Cal, losing 5-4 in 10 innings at Evans Diamond in Berkeley.

The Bulldogs (3-9) led 4-1 before giving up two runs in the bottom of the seventh, one in the ninth to tie it and then the winning run in the 10th.

With the bases loaded and nobody out in the 10th, Brenden Farney drove in the clinching run for Cal (6-7) with a sacrifice fly to center after the Bears put runners on against Blake Quinn (0-1) with a hit batter, a fielder's choice followed by an error by first baseman Trent Garrison and a bunt single.

Freshman third baseman Kevin Viers drove in two runs for Fresno State, with an RBI groundout that made it 1-0 in the second inning and a single in the sixth that gave the Bulldogs a 2-1 lead. In the seventh, Trent Garrison made it 3-1 with a run-scoring double and Austin Wynns' sacrifice fly pushed it to 4-1.

Fresno State (0-5 in road games) and Cal resume the four-game nonconference series at 1:30 p.m. today in Berkeley.
