Beach drops first two to Cal

In a pair of high-scoring affairs LBSU came up short last night and this afternoon at Blair.

Jeff Lease couldn't finish the first inning - giving up four hits and four runs (two earned) - and Long Beach dropped a 9-6 decision to Cal on Saturday afternoon.

Devin Lohman had three hits and T.J. Mittlestaedt reached base in five of his seven plate appearances and had 2 RBI's.

Drew Gagnon pitched five and a third innings of relief, striking out five and giving up three runs.

Cal won the opener 11-8 despite trailing 8-4 in the middle innings.

The Dirtbags defense, especially at third base, struggled again committing five errors leading to Cal's three run ninth inning rally and seven unearned runs for the Golden Bears.

Tyler Topp got the start in place of Jake Thompson but didn't make it out of the fourth.

Mittlestaedt had another strong game out of the DH spot going 3 for 4 with 2 RBI's.

Rylan Sandoval had three errors at third after Taylor Krick had a two error game at the hot corner last Sunday.
