Back To Back Walk Off Wins For The `Runners

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – The Cal State Bakersfield baseball team closed out the weekend series with back-to-back walk off wins against Cal Poly. After falling a game behind on Friday night, the Roadrunners stormed back to win the series 2-1. Freshman Jacob Gutierrez earned his first complete game victory on Sunday while Cody Hendriks delivered the knockout blow in the bottom of the ninth.

Quotes from Head Coach Jeremy Beard
  • "Excellent team effort by our young men today. Multiple guys stepped up at different times to create a team win."
  • "Gutsy performance by Gutierrez on the mound. As a freshman, he's showing excellent composure and wants to win games for his team."
  • "Hendriks stepping up and handling the high fastball with big velocity was huge."
  • "After taking it on the chin on Friday night, I felt our guys bounced back and competed well. We played quality defense, we pitched well, and we had timely hits."

  • Cal Poly took the lead early on. The Mustangs scored two runs, one from Collin Villegas, who doubled down the left field line, and the second RBI single was from former `Runner, Aaron Casillas.
  • The `Runners answered right back in the second inning, with graduate student Riley Kasper's single bringing in two runs.
  • Bakersfield got their first lead of the game during the fifth inning when James Bell singled in a run with a hit to left field. Bell currently has a team high of 27 RBI for the season.
  • With the score tied 3-3 in the bottom of the ninth, Hendriks' single to center field gave Bakersfield exactly what they needed to close the game with a win. The RBI that scored Nic Anderson-Vine led to CSUB's second walk off of the series.
  • Gutierrez earned the first complete-game victory by a `Runner since Kellen O'Connor's shutout against Utah Valley on March 26th, 2022.
