SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. -- Nick Vogt's two-run double down the left-field line snapped a 3-3 tie and sparked a four-run ninth-inning rally as UC Santa Barbara completed a sweep of its three-game Big West Conference baseball series at Cal Poly with a 7-3 victory Sunday afternoon inside Baggett Stadium.
In reaching the 30-win milestone with four weeks left in the regular season, UC Santa Barbara improved to 30-10 for the season and 19-2 in Big West games, at least six games ahead of its nearest competitor. Cal Poly, which has lost five straight contests, is 6.5 games behind the Gauchos with an 11-7 mark and 24-19 for the season.
Hawai'i defeated Cal State Fullerton 17-3 on Sunday and moved into second place in the Big West at 13-8, six games behind UC Santa Barbara. Cal Poly is third while Cal State Fullerton and UC Irvine share fourth place at 10-8, 7.5 games behind the Gauchos.
Cal Poly led 1-0 and 2-1 in the early innings before UC Santa Barbara scored twice in the seventh inning on back-to-back triples by Bryce Willits and Blake Klassen and a sacrifice fly by Christian Kirtley.
Cal Poly tied the game at 3-3 in the eighth on Joe Yorke's second home run of the season and first career homer at Baggett Stadium, a solo shot to right field leading off the inning.
The Gauchos wasted no time jumping back on top in the ninth as Vogt doubled to drive in two and Nick Oakley doubled down the right field for two insurance runs and a 7-3 advantage.
Clayton Hall faced the minimum three batters in the bottom of the ninth to earn his first win of the year.
Gaucho starter Ryan Gallagher tossed seven innings, scattering eight hits and allowing three runs and a walk with four strikeouts. Hall secured the final six outs, relieving Gallagher after Yorke's home run.
The loss was charged to Jason Franks (3-2), the third of five Cal Poly pitchers used in the game, as he gave up five runs and eight hits over four innings.
Cal Poly lost all three games despite tying Friday's game three times, leading Saturday's contest 3-0 after three innings and holding on to a 2-1 lead in the seventh frame Sunday. The Gauchos swept the Mustangs in Baggett Stadium for the first time since Cal Poly joined the Big West in 1997.
Cal Poly scored a run in the first inning as Ryan Stafford singled, Brooks Lee walked and Collin Villegas singled up the middle for an RBI. After the Gauchos scored in the top of the second, the Mustangs snapped the 1-1 tie in the bottom of the frame on a bases-loaded sacrifice fly by Stafford.
UC Santa Barbara, which hit .315 in the series, outhit Cal Poly 15-8 Sunday, led by Klassen with a triple and two singles. Vogt, Oakley, Broc Mortensen, Jordan Sprinkle and Kyle Johnson all had two hits each.
Stafford and Samuelson both singled twice for Cal Poly. Yorke's home run extended his hitting streak to nine games.
Stafford, Villegas and Yorke each had four hits in the series for Cal Poly, which hit .220 and compiled a 6.52 ERA.
Sunday's game drew 2,381 fans, lifting the total for the series to 8,250, No. 2 all-time in the 22-year-history of Baggett Stadium. Topping the list are the 8,585 fans who watched Cal Poly win one of three games against then-defending national champion Cal State Fullerton in 2005.
Cal Poly visits Fresno State (22-22 after an 8-5 loss to San Diego State on Sunday) for a single non-conference game Tuesday night before returning home to host CSU Bakersfield (16-24 overall, 9-9 in the Big West following a 3-2 loss at CSUN on Mason Le's one-out home run in the bottom of the ninth inning Sunday) for a three-game Big West series next weekend.
