Broncos Secure 3-2 Win in Series Finale!

POMONA, Calif. – In the series finale between the No. 24 Cal Poly Pomona Broncos and the No. 23 UC San Diego Tritons, the hometown CPP squad secured a 3-2 victory. Monday's victory at Scolinos Field gave the Broncos their lone win of the series.
 
The Broncos improved to a 16-9 overall record on the season, complete with an 8-6 mark in the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA). The Tritons will now carry a 10-6 conference record, coupled with a 20-8 overall showing into next week's play.
 
Starting on the mound for the CPP squad and securing the win, his second of the season, was Ryan Alsworth. The sophomore dealt for 5.2 innings and allowed just four hits and one run to score. He tallied five strikeouts while giving up zero walks.
 
With the start for the Tritons, John Erhardt pitched for two innings in his first appearance since the beginning of the season. He allowed three hits and one run to score.
 
After Alsworth, Tyler Rowe came in for the Green and Gold and threw the next two innings, allowing one run to score, but zero hits. Closing out the game for CPP and tallying 1.1 innings was Wyatt Shackleford. He faced just five batters to close out the game and secure his first save of the season.
 
CPP bats were alive in the game as eight hits were collected. Daniel Pitts, Alex Kline, and Jacob Bernardy each recorded two hits, while Chris Stratton and Ryan Webberley nabbed the other two.
 
In the second inning, Bernardy singled to right center to bring Pitts home for CPP's first run in the game. The next couple innings remained scoreless until a fourth inning homerun by Steven Coe, the Tritons' catcher evened up the score at 1-1.
 
The fifth inning came with Stratton lining up the middle to advance Bernardy and score Kline. Keeping things alive for the Green and Gold, Kline singled past a diving short stop to score Pitts in the seventh for CPP's third and final run.
 
In the eighth, UCSD tacked on one more to make it a one-run ballgame, but CPP secured the 3-2 victory.
 
The Broncos will return to the diamond on Friday, March 25 up in Hayward as they challenge the Cal State East Bay Pioneers on their home field. The first pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m.
