Baseball Can’t Hold Early Lead Against Cal Poly

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – Playing their fourth home game in five days, the CSU Bakersfield baseball team jumped out to an 8-0 lead against Cal Poly on Tuesday.  Unfortunately, the Roadrunners were unable to keep pace with the Mustang offense and lost 11-8 at Hardt Field. 

The `Runners (10-21, 1-5 WAC) jumped all over the first two Cal Poly (14-17, 1-5 Big West) pitchers on Tuesday.  CSUB scored three times in the second inning on Thomas Triantos and five times off of Michael Clark in the fourth and fifth innings combined.    

Ryan Koch got things going in the second with a leadoff triple and came around on a groundout by Jake Ortega.  Luis Martinez continued his hot hitting with a two-out single up the middle and Mark Pena was hit by a pitch before Daniel Carrizosa walked to load the bases.  Austyn Tengan drew a walk to bring the second run of the inning across the plate and Pena trotted home on a wild pitch. 

In the third, CSUB took advantage of three Cal Poly miscues in the field to plate four runs.  Pena had a RBI base hit in the inning and Carrizosa also singled to center to drive in a run.  The `Runners loaded the bases with nobody out in the fourth, but were only able to manage a solo tally when Alec Daily grounded into a double play against the third Mustang pitcher of the evening, Austin Dondanville (1-0). 

Dondanville finished the game on the mound for the Mustangs and allowed just one hit and faced just 17 batters as the `Runner lineup was unable to solve the junior right-hander. 

Kevin Altamirano earned his first career start on the mound and shutout the Mustangs over the first four innings.  He failed to record an out before exiting in the fifth and was relieved by Isaiah Moten, who allowed two earned runs and four runs total in just an inning. 

Kyle King (1-3) took the ball next for CSUB and struck out the side in the sixth inning.  It was a tough outing for King as he allowed five unearned runs in the seventh inning, including a three-run homer to Scott Ogrin that put the Mustangs up 9-8.  Cal Poly added another run off of Aaron Chalres and Andrew Ciandro tossed a scoreless ninth for the `Runners. 

Pena led the offensive attack with two hits and two runs scored, while Koch crossed the plate twice.  Seven of the nine CSUB hitters had a hit in the game.  

CSUB will look to get back on track on Friday at Utah Valley University.  First pitch is slated for 6:00 p.m. Mountain Time.
