BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – Redshirt freshman Chance Rich earned a pin to lead the CSU Bakersfield wrestling team past California Baptist on Friday night at the Icardo Center. The Roadrunners won seven of the duals' ten matches and routed the visiting Lancers by a score of 31-9.

CBU forfeited bouts at 165 and 125 pounds spotting the `Runners a quick twelve points. CSUB added nineteen more points when it took six of the eight contested bouts versus the Lancers.
