Golden Eagles Complete Series Sweep Of Broncos

POMONA -- Cal State LA's baseball team made sure an extra day of waiting was well worth it on Sunday.

The Golden Eagles completed a four-game California Collegiate Athletic Association series sweep of Cal Poly Pomona with a pair of wins on Sunday, 3-1 and 6-4, at Scolinos Field. Cal State LA (10-7, 7-5) had opened the series with victories at Reeder Field on Thursday and Friday and then had to wait a day after Saturday's scheduled doubleheader in Pomona was postponed by rain.

It was the first conference sweep for Cal State LA over Cal Poly Pomona since 2007.

The Golden Eagles got tremendous pitching performances in the opener from James Mendez and the returning Greg Humbert, who made his first appearance of the season a good one, limiting the Broncos to just one hit over the final 2 1/3 innings, preserving the win for Mendez, who allowed only six hits and one run over 6 2/3 innings.

Zach Grande was 3-for-3 with three doubles and a walk, while Jorge Garcia was 2-4.

In the nightcap, the Golden Eagles struck for five runs in the top of the first inning and Saxon Andross and Dylan Suppan made them stand up for the win. Andross allowed eight hits and four runs over 4 2/3 innings and Suppan blanked the Broncos on just one hit over 2 1/3 innings to end it.

Andre Gregory was 2-for-4 with one run and one RBI, Anthony Moreno was 1-for-2 with two RBI and Nic Bereaud was 2-for-4 with one run and one RBI.

The opener was scoreless until the sixth inning when the Golden Eagles broke through first two runs. Bereaud drew a one-out walk and scored the game's first run after a run-scoring double by Moreno. Grande followed with a run-scoring double to make it 2-0.

The Broncos got one run back in the bottom of the sixth when Brennan McKenzie hit a solo home run, but Humbert got ouf of a two-on, two-out jam in the seventh when he got McKenzie to ground into a force to end the inning. Cal State LA made it 3-1 in the ninth when Grande doubled and pinch runner Armett Johnson scored on a run-scoring double by Jordan Peabody.

The Golden Eagles took early control in the nightcap with their five-run first. Garcia singled in the first run and Bereaud doubled in a run to make it 2-0. A two-run single by Moreno made it 4-0 and a run-scoring double by Noe Garcia gave the Golden Eagles a quick 5-0 lead.

After the Broncos closed to within 5-3, Gregory picked up a run-scoring single in the fourth to make it 6-3.

Cal State LA will return to action on Thursday with a home game against Cal State Dominguez Hills.
