POMONA -- After losing a tough 7-6 decision in Saturday's opener, the Cal Poly Pomona baseball team answered back with a 10-2 win the second game to earn a split on the doubleheader and series split against Cal State L.A. in California Collegiate Athletic Association play.

The Broncos, now 19-18 overall and 11-13 in the CCAA, play host to Cal State San Bernardino on Thursday and Friday. The Broncos will conclude their series against the Coyotes with doubleheader Saturday at CSUSB's Fiscalini Field.

Game 1: Cal State L.A. 7, Broncos 6

The Broncos faced a 5-0 deficit before they had a chance to bat as the Golden Eagles put up a five-spot on Broncos' starter Casey Yokubaitis in the first inning.

CSULA scored its five runs on seven hits -- all with two outs. Sam Wiley, Matt Miraldi, Jordan Castro, Max Moya, Jesus Campos and Joe Park all had consecutive singles. Chris Matzner had the Golden Eagles' only extra-base hit of the inning with a double.

CPP then tied the game at 5-5 in the third. Stephen Gonzalez' sacrifice fly scored Edwards, who walked. David Jaques followed with an RBI-single and Manny Navarro had an RBI when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.

CPP grabbed the lead at 6-5 in the sixth. Erik Riedel delivered a single against CSULA's Matt Clark and scored Robert Palmer, who walked.

But CSULA placed two on the board in the eighth. Matzner drilled a two-run double off Michael Parker, who took the loss.

Game 2: Broncos 10, Cal  State L.A. 2

The Broncos took advantage of CSULA's wildness in the second inning as the Golden Eagles put seven consecutive Broncos on the bases with a walk, hit by pitch and five consecutive walks. 

They would score eight runs on only two hits.
