Ethan Lopez drove in the go-ahead run with two outs in the eighth inning Sunday, and Hawaii came back to beat No. 18 Cal State Fullerton 3-2, taking two of three from the Big West front-runner in Fullerton, Calif.

With just a home series left with Arizona, the Rainbow Warriors (23-27, 12-12 Big West) finished .500 in league play.

Jacob Sheldon-Collins led off the eighth with a walk, moved to second on Eric Ramirez’s walk and tied the game when Marcus Doi reached on a error. Doi moved to second on a wild pitch before scoring on Lopez’s single through the right side.

Cody Culp (3-1) pitched an inning of spotless relief and Matt Valencia got four outs for his fourth save for the Rainbow Warriors.
