Broncos Split With Seawolves Saturday

ROHNERT PARK, Calif. -- After surrendering a walkoff home run in the bottom of the 11th inning to lose 6-5 in game one, the Cal Poly Pomona baseball team responded with a convincing 9-4 victory in game two to split Saturday's doubleheader with host Sonoma State at Seawolf Diamond in Rohnert Park.

The Broncos move to 12-15 overall and 11-11 in the CCAA.  The Seawolves are now 10-13 overall and 8-11 in conference action.

In game one, Tim Holdgrafer had another impressive outing on the mound for CPP, going seven shutout innings, giving up five hits and striking out eight before being lifted to start the eighth inning.  He left with a 4-0 lead, thanks to a three-run fourth inning on three RBI singles by Cesar Lopez, Matt Manskar and Logan Gopperton, and then Patrick Flynn brought home a run in the sixth to account for the four CPP runs.

It was in the eighth inning that Sonoma State made its comeback, getting two runs in off of Chris Burnette in the eighth to make it a 4-2 game.  In the top of the ninth, Angel Ortiz doubled home Manskar for an important insurance run to put CPP up 5-2, but the Seawolves rallied for three runs in the bottom of the ninth to force extra innings.  It was in the bottom of the 11th that SSU pinch hitter Joshua Medina blasted the first pitch of the inning up and over the left field fence for the walkoff game-winner off of Drew Atherton (0-1).

Manskar led the offense with three hits while Lopez, Gopperton and Ortiz all had two, accounting for nine of the 13 Bronco hits in the loss.

In the nightcap, Nic Hernandez got CPP started in the third inning with a two-run double to make it 2-0 before a five-run fifth inning put the Broncos up 7-0.  Sonoma responded with three runs in the bottom half of the fifth, but two more CPP runs came home in the sixth to essentially put the game away, en route to the 9-4 win in the seven-inning affair.

Dylan Francis (3-4) got the win, going five innings and allowing three runs (two earned) on two hits, striking out five.  Ben Mora worked the final two innings to secure the win.

The two teams will return to play Sunday to wrap up the four-game series with a doubleheader beginning at 11:00 am.
