Rewritten Article:

Brock Perreira, the CSUB designated hitter, found himself enjoying a tiny taste of home during his latest visit, as his family treated him to a delightful meal of Spam musubi and kalua pig. On Friday night, under the watchful eyes of a crowd of 2,057, Perreira ate up a changeup and blasted it over the right-field fence for the game-winning home run in the 10th inning, securing a 7-6 win for CSUB over Hawaii at Les Murakami Stadium [1].

The electric atmosphere was palpable as Perreira, a Kaiser High graduate, resolved a 6-6 tie with a well-timed hit just inside the right-field pole. The 'Bows went down in order in the bottom of the inning, and couldn't respond [1].

"I'm ecstatic. This is my home state. To hit the go-ahead home run in front of my family and friends is an experience I can't even put into words," a thrilled Perreira shared after the match [1].

The 'Bows slipped to 26-14 overall and 10-12 in the Big West. This defeat marked their fourth straight loss in Division I play and their eighth setback in the past nine games against league opponents [4]. It was the first time in 17 games that the 'Bows didn't win after leading after the sixth inning [4].

Perreira revealed that he knows it's "tough" to hit a home run at Murakami Stadium. With that challenge in mind, he focused on picking up the changeup from Isaiah Magadaleno andputting a strong swing on it [1].

CSUB fans erupted in chants of "MVP! MVP!" as Perreira walked toward the visitors' dugout following a post-game on-field team meeting [1]. In this high-octane contest, the Roadrunners and the 'Bows traded blows, but it was Perreira's home run that ultimately decided the game [1].

The Roadrunners fought hard to keep up with the 'Bows, who were powered by the impressive 4-for-5 batting performance of their first baseman, Ben Zeigler-Namoa. However, their 17-hit attack couldn't match the offensive onslaught of the Roadrunners [1].

With bases loaded and no outs in the eighth, the Roadrunners managed to tie the game at 5-5 on a two-run single by pinch hitter Cody Hendriks [1]. The 'Bows then regained the lead when Zeigler-Namoa doubled and came home on Kamana Nahaku's run-scoring single to left in the eighth [1].

In the ninth, CSUB refused to concede defeat. With Nick Mascaro on second, they scored the tying run when Michael Pollard singled to center [1].

The 'Bows had struggled score against Big West opponents for 25 consecutive innings prior to their rally for a 4-2 lead in the fourth inning [4]. However, they were able to mount a comeback, loading the bases on consecutive walks, a single, and a bunt before Aidan Kuni struck out [4].

In the sixth, the 'Bows stretched their lead to 5-2 when Itsuki Takemoto singled home their fourth run [4]. Despite the offensive firepower of the 'Bows, Sebastian Gonzalez managed to contain the damage in his three innings of work, allowing an unearned run [4].
