Trailing 7-3, Cal Poly had chances to climb back into the game, leaving two runners on base in both the fifth and sixth innings and the bases loaded in the seventh. In all, the Mustangs stranded 11 runners on the basepaths.
Mustang shortstop Brooks Lee doubled and tripled, scored both times and drove in one run to spark Cal Poly offensively. Designated hitter Matt Lopez added a pair of RBI singles and designated hitter Joe Yorke knocked in three runs with a bases-loaded walk and two-run single.
UC San Diego outhit Cal Poly 12-11. Fitzgerald had three hits and Gozzo and Kritsch each had two hits and they combined for eight RBIs.
