The problem for the Golden Eagles was that Cal State Monterey Bay's starters fared even better against Cal State L.A.'s lineup.

The Golden Eagles, though, didn't score again until the ninth inning.

The Golden Eagles got a run in the ninth on a sacrifice fly by Niko Garcia that scored Tyler Christian.
 
In the nightcap, Quintero and Owen were locked in a pitcher's duel through five innings. Cal State L.A. took a 1-0 lead in the third on a run-scoring triple by Masik that drove in Garcia, but the Golden Eagles were unable to drive in Masik and then didn't threaten again until the final inning.
 
The Otters tied the game in the fourth on a run-scoring single by David Garcia and scored three more times in the sixth to take the lead. Brian Haggett drove in one run with a double to right, another run scored on a wild pitch and Tommy George singled up the middle for the final run.
