Golden Eagles Fall To Broncos' Ninth-Inning Rally

POMONA -- Cal State LA's baseball team got an outstanding night of pitching, but couldn't hold on to a ninth-inning lead against Cal Poly Pomona.

The Golden Eagles took a 1-0 lead into the ninth, but the Broncos got the tying run on a groundout and the decisive run on a wild pitch to pull out a 2-1 victory in a California Collegiate Athletic Association game at Scolinos Field. Cal State LA (4-5, 3-2 CCAA) had taken a 1-0 lead in the sixth inning on a run-scoring single by Johnny Pacheco.

Saxon Andross turned in his third sensational start of the season, blanking the Broncos on six hits through six innings while walking one and striking out nine. In his first three starts, Andross has allowed only 11 hits and one run over 19 1/3 innings with five walks and 25 strikeouts. He has an earned run average of 0.47.

Julien Garcia worked a scoreless seventh inning and retired all three batters he faced and Fino Amador worked around two hits and a walk in a scoreless inning while striking out two. The Broncos (5-4, 3-2 CCAA), though, bunched together a hit, a walk, a hit batter and the wild pitch to win the game in the ninth.

Ryan Lewis had two of the Golden Eagles' five hits and scored the lone run. Pacheco, Jordan Myrow and Randy Buenrostro had the other hits.

Lewis got the Golden Eagles' rally going in the sixth with a single. He took second when Aaron McCann was hit by a pitch. The runners advanced on a groundout by Allen Pacheco and Lewis scored on Johnny Pacheco's single.

The four-game conference series will continue on Saturday with a game at Cal Poly Pomona at 3 p.m. The series concludes on Sunday at Reeder Field with a doubleheader that is set to begin at noon.
