Inno later gave the Mustangs a 3-1 lead after he won his match at the No. 6 spot in straight sets, 6-4, 7-5 to improve his record this year to 4-2.
The win was then clinched for Cal Poly by Leather after he had a three set comeback win at the No. 2 spot, 4-6, 6-2, 6-3. He is now 6-1 this year and has won five straight matches.
