BLUE CREEK, North Carolina. (KEYT) – In their Cal Poly debut, Oregon State transfer Laif Palmer scattered four hits over five innings and struck out seven while Sean McGrath and Corden Pettey, both freshmen, allowed just one run over the final four frames as the Mustangs completed a sweep of their doubleheader at Campbell with a 4-3 victory in Saturday’s nightcap at Jim Perry Stadium.

Coupled with a 16-5 triumph in the opener, Cal Poly (2-1) clinched the three-game non-conference series, bouncing back from Friday’s season-opening 5-2 setback. Sunday’s scheduled finale was moved to Saturday night due to an approaching weather front.

“Having to play a doubleheader after losing the opener the day before shows some character and some resilience from our team,” said 24th-year Mustang head coach Larry Lee. “We turned what could have been a big negative into a positive.

“We still have a long way to go in all facets of the game to become the team that we need to become,” Lee added.

In the nightcap, Cal Poly scored single runs in the first and third innings. Dante Vachini opened the game with a double and eventually scored on a groundout by Alejandro Garza. The same two players figured prominently in the third-inning run as well, with Vachini singling and Garza knocking him home with a single of his own.

Campbell scored twice in the fifth to tie the game at 2-2, but Cal Poly wasted no time jumping back on top as Nate Castellon opened the sixth with a double and trotted home on Casey Murray Jr.’s run-scoring single to right field.

The Mustangs added what turned out to be a much-needed insurance run in the ninth on a double by Cam Hoiland and a sacrifice fly off the bat of Jake Downing. Campbell pulled to within a run in the bottom of the ninth on Andrew Keller’s pinch-hit single to right before Pettey induced Carlos Lugo to roll a grounder to shortstop for the game-ending force play at second base.

Palmer (1-0) struck out a pair of batters in both the first and fifth innings to wriggle out of jams as Campbell stranded eight runners on the basepaths. McGrath pitched one scoreless frame while Pettey earned a save by giving up just one run and one hit over three innings, striking out four.

“Palmer threw great, McGrath worked himself out of some trouble and then Petty came in and did a real good job as a first outing for a freshman,” said Lee. “Against a good team on the road and playing three games in the course of 24 hours, we accomplished some things.

“It’s early. We’re still trying to figure out a lot of different things, who fits in where, defensively and in the batting order, but it was a good first weekend to get some answers,” said Lee.

Vachini was the lone Mustang with multiple hits in the nightcap. Four of Cal Poly’s seven hits were doubles. Campbell’s six hits included two singles by designated hitter Jonah Oster.

Cal Poly 16, Campbell 5 (Opener)

Cal Poly produced three crooked numbers, jumping to a 5-0 lead in the first inning, snapping a 5-5 tie with three runs in the seventh and breaking the game wide open with an eight-run ninth-inning rally to win the opener.

A two-run single by Braxton Thomas and a three-run home run by Ryan Tayman staked the Mustangs to their early 5-0 lead in the opening frame.

After Campbell scored in four of its first five at-bats to tie the game at 5-5, the Cal Poly bats woke up again in the seventh, scoring three times on RBI singles off the bats of Thomas and Garza and a sacrifice fly by Hoiland.

The Mustangs sent 13 batters to the plate in the ninth, the eight-run explosion fueled by a two-run single by Dylan Kordic, a two-run double by Castellon and RBI singles from Garza and Downing. A wild pitch and an infield error accounted for the other two runs in the frame.

Josh Morano (1-0) earned the win in relief, securing eight outs and allowing a run and three hits. Nick Bonn tossed the final 2 1/3 innings for his first Mustang save, striking out five. Mustang starter Josh Volmerding went four innings, giving up four runs (three earned) and five hits.

David Rossow (0-1), the fourth of six Campbell pitchers used in the game, suffered the loss, allowing five runs in 2 2/3 frames.

Cal Poly’s 14 hits included three singles by Garza and two hits each for Thomas, Downing and Murray. First baseman Joey Morton had a double and two singles to lead Campbell’s eight-hit offensive attack.

(KEYT) – Peter Bandelj enjoyed a team high 18 points and Hamad Mousa finished with 17 Saturday evening as the Cal Poly men’s basketball program – for the second time in three days – defeated a top-three opponent in the Big West standings, dealing Blue-Green rival UC Santa Barbara a 89-79 defeat inside Mott Athletics Center.

Neither side led by more than four points during Saturday’s opening 10 minutes before UC Santa Barbara broke a 19-19 deadlock with a 7-0 run. The Gauchos – shooting 55.6 (15-for-27) percent in the first half – twice led by 10 points before taking a 46-37 advantage into the locker room.

Gauchos forward Zion Sensley opened the second half with a three-pointer to place UC Santa Barbara up 12 before the Mustangs – sinking six of their initial 10 shots – produced an 18-4 run out of the break to take a 55-50 lead with 14 minutes remaining.

UC Santa Barbara scored the next seven points, but a three-pointer from Cal Poly junior guard Jake Davis handed the Mustangs the lead for certain at 58-57 with 12-and-a-half to play.

The Gauchos closed their deficit to 73-70 with four-and-a-half minutes to go before Mousa connected on a three-point play, hit a jumper and drained two free throws on successive possessions to place Cal Poly in front, 80-72.

HATTIESBURG, Mississippi.(KEYT) -The bats were never going to stay quiet for long in Southern Mississippi, as the UC Santa Barbara and No. 20 Southern Miss Baseball teams combined for four homers and 14 total runs in the second game of their three-game series. Despite taking an early lead thanks to Noah Karliner’s continued clutch hitting and Nick Husovsky’s first yard call in Blue and Gold, the Gauchos ultimately fell to the hosting Golden Eagles, 8-6, setting up a showdown for the series win in Sunday’s finale.

HOW IT HAPPENEDThe first two innings of the game looked nearly identical to the first two innings of Friday’s contest, with the pitchers in control. Nathan Aceves, making his first weekend start for the Gauchos, kicked off his day with a kick change for a strikeout and set the Southern Miss side down in order in the first. He opened the second with another K and stranded runners at the corners to end the frame before the bats burst into life in the third.

The top of the Santa Barbara order played some small ball to load the bags, with Rowan Kelly walking, Cade Goldstein legging out an infield bunt single and Husovsky getting plunked. Jonathan Mendez’s comebacker bounced off the pitcher’s glove and to the second baseman for an out, though it drove in the first run of the game. Then, it was Xavier Esquer with the first big hit of the day, splitting the game in left center for a a two-RBI double. He would come around to score on Karliner’s two-out RBI single, another run-scoring hit with two outs for the Cal State Dominguez Hills transfer; he has three two-out hits on the season already.

The Golden Eagles got two runs back in their half of the third with a hit batter, two singles and an errant throw, but Santa Barbara restored their four-run cushion immediately in the fourth. Goldstein’s two-out single passed the torch to Husovsky, who wrapped his first Gaucho home run just inside the left field foul pole to make it 6-2.

Southern Miss hit a homer of their own in the bottom of the fourth, a solo shot to make it 6-3, before both pitchers managed to restore order and put up zeroes in the fifth. Aceves worked into the sixth, retiring the first batter of the inning before he was removed, though his reliever allowed a single and a two-run homer as the Golden Eagles brought Santa Barbara’s lead down to one. The lead was gone thanks to three straight singles to start the seventh, with AJ Krodel having to wriggle out of a second-and-third, one-out jam to escape with the game tied. He got some help from a great defensive play by Mendez at short, making a strong home to cut down the lead runner for the second out. There was no escape in the eighth though, as a two-run homer provided the decisive runs for the hosts.

UP NEXTWith the series now tied at one game apiece, the winner of Sunday’s game will get to claim the bragging rights. Dos Pueblos High School alum Kellan Montgomery will get the start for Santa Barbara in the rubber match, taking on McCarty English. With rain expected overnight and into the morning, first pitch is now set for 1 p.m. Pacific Time from Pete Taylor Park in Hattiesburg. The game will be streamed live on ESPN+ with a free, audio-only stream and live stats available at ucsbgauchos.com.
