Cal Poly Falls to USC in Non-Conference Midweek Game
3/15/2023 9:32:00 PM | Baseball
Right fielder Cole Gabrielson homered once and singled twice, driving in five runs, and designated hitter Nick Lopez also homered once and doubled and singled for two RBIs as the Trojans improved to 8-7-1.
Cal Poly (3-11), which has lost 10 of its last 11 games after winning its series against Missouri State opening the 2023 season, led 1-0 on a solo home run by Collin Villegas in the first inning. It was his fifth blast of the year.
After USC sent 13 batters to the plate for eight runs in the top of the second, the Mustangs were limited to single runs in the second and fifth innings.
Kemet Brown's first of two doubles knocked in the run in the second and Ryan Stafford doubled in the fifth and eventually came home on a wild pitch.
In addition to Brown's two hits, Stafford also collected a pair of hits.
Blake Sodersten (2-1), who pitched the last four years at CSUN, earned the win for USD, allowing three runs and six hits over five innings with no walks and eight strikeouts.
Cal Poly used nine pitchers in the game, starter Charlie Royle (0-1) suffering the loss.
The Mustangs open Big West Conference play with a three-game series against Hawai'i (7-7) on Friday through Sunday in Baggett Stadium.
