Six-Run Eighth Inning Cements Sweep Of UCCS

POMONA – A six-run eighth inning propelled the No. 21 Cal Poly Pomona baseball team to a 10-3 victory on Sunday over visiting University of Colorado Colorado Springs at Scolinos Field in Pomona.
 
The Broncos (4-0) secured the four-game sweep of the Mountain Lions (0-4) as CPP is undefeated through its first four games for the first time since 2015.
 
Both teams went run for run through the first seven innings, but the flood gates opened for the Broncos' offense in the bottom of the eighth, turning a one-run lead into a blowout.
 
Marco Malerba led the way with two hits and three RBI while Tyler Chaffee went 2 for 4 with a double and two RBI. Brent Cota recorded a game-high three hits with a double, a RBI and a run scored, and Jordan Ku hit a triple and scored twice.
 
Starting pitcher Elias Jauregui worked the first four and a thirds innings, allowing two runs on four hits and four walks before being lifted for Eric Romo (1-0), who went the next inning and two-thirds, giving up three hits, a run, while striking out two. Edrian Rangel and Zuko Tillman combined to pitch the final three innings and didn't allow a hit.
 
UCCS designated hitter Brad Madison led the visitors with a 2 for 4 day at the plate, scoring two of the three Mountain Lion runs.
 
The Broncos pounded out 35 runs on 38 hits in the four-game set, while CPP pitching sported a 1.59 earned run average, giving up just seven runs on 22 hits, striking out 34.
 
Cal Poly Pomona will return to action at home on Friday when it hosts Colorado School of Mines for the first game of a four-game series at Scolinos Field. First pitch Friday is set for 5:00 pm.
