Broncos Clinch Playoff Berth With 3-1 Win

POMONA, Calif. - The No. 15 Cal Poly Pomona Broncos secured game one of the final home series 3-1 on Friday. With the win and a loss for Cal State Dominguez Hills, the Broncos secured a spot in the CCAA Postseason Tournament. They defeated the Warriors of Cal State Stanislaus in the contest and continue their lead in the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA).
 
With the win, CPP now holds an overall 32-11 tally complete with a 24-9 mark in conference play. The visitors drop to a CCAA record of 14-19 and hold an overall 19-24 tally.
 
Leading off the series on the bump for the Green and Gold was Ryan Olson, who secured his eighth win with a 7 inning showing, allowing just one run on a mere three hits. He added five strikeouts and threw 97 pitches in the win. With victory number eight, Olson moves into a three-way tie for the most wins in the CCAA.
 
Coming out of the bullpen for the Broncos was Ryan Alsworth and Michael Koval, the latter of whom received the save.
 
The CPP offense made quick work of the Warriors' starting pitcher, as he was retired just three innings into the game. In the third, the home squad proved to have a keen eye and drew four straight walks, scoring Michael Erb after he led off the inning. The next play Nick Cooksey added another run for the Broncos as a long sacrifice fly brought Jacob Bernardy home.
 
The next run in the ballgame would not be scored until the sixth inning when a single through the right side provided the Warriors with the opportunity they needed to wipe the zero off the board.
 
Scoring the final run in the ball game would again be Bernardy, this time though he scored on a passed ball that found its way behind the catcher. That gave CPP the third run and would give the game its final 3-1 result.
 
CPP's offense drew seven total walks on the day and a stellar showing from the pitching staff allowed only two walks while adding six strikeouts.
 
The series between the two squads will continue Saturday with the final regular season doubleheader at Scolinos Field. Game one is set to begin at 11 a.m.
