Cal Poly Settles for Series Split as Harvard Wins Sunday's Game 9-4
3/13/2022 5:23:00 PM | Baseball
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. -- Cal Poly's team batting average rose to .308 midway through the UNLV series a week ago.
The average has fallen to .274 with losses in four of its last seven games.
In five games this week, Coach Larry Lee's Mustangs hit just .201. Harvard outhit Cal Poly in each of the last three contests of a four-game series over the weekend and earned a 2-2 series split with Sunday's 9-4 triumph inside Baggett Stadium.
Harvard (6-5) jumped to a 3-0 lead in the first two innings and, after Cal Poly (7-9) closed the gap to a single run on Brooks Lee's two-run double to right-center field in the third frame, scored six times in the middle innings to pull away.
Harvard not only outhit Cal Poly 11-7, the Crimson also took advantage of five Mustang errors. Just five of the nine runs scored by Harvard on Sunday were earned.
Hunter Baldwin extended Harvard's 4-2 lead to 6-2 with a two-run double in the fifth inning and Jake Berger broke the game open with a two-run double of his own in the sixth.
Matthias Haas belted his third home run of the season, a two-run shot to left-center field, in the bottom of the sixth, but it was too little, too late as Harvard reliever Uday Narottam retired the final 10 Cal Poly batters of the game for his first save of the year.
Harvard starter Sean Matson (1-0) earned the win, allowing four runs and seven hits over 5 1/3 innings with no walks and five strikeouts.
Steven Brooks (0-1), the first of six Mustang pitchers used in the game, suffered the loss as he gave up four runs (two earned) and eight hits over 3 2/3 innings. Dylan Villalobos and Zach Button, Cal Poly's final two pitchers, combined to toss three scoreless innings with five strikeouts.
Cal Poly's seven hits were by seven different hitters. Lee, who sports a .444 batting average after Sunday's game, now has 12 doubles and 23 RBIs this season, on pace to break the school doubles record (27) he set last year and surpass his RBI total of 57.
George Cooper, Logan Bravo and Chris Snopek each had two of Harvard's 11 hits.
Lee was 7-for-17 in the series with four doubles and a home run, driving in seven runs. While the offense hit just .213, the pitching staff compiled a 2.25 ERA with 38 strikeouts over 36 innings. The Mustangs committed seven errors in the four-game series.
Cal Poly has no midweek game next week due to Winter Quarter finals and will open Big West Conference play next weekend with a three-game series at home against CSUN. Games are scheduled for Friday at 6 p.m., Saturday at 4 p.m. and Sunday at 1 o'clock.
The Matadors are 9-6 overall after winning a series, two games to one, at McNeese State over the weekend.
