Seven starters had at least one hit and LBSU scored in six of their eight at-bats en route to their fourth straight win. The Dirtbags have won 13 of their last 16 at home.
They were down 4-3 in the fourth but responded with a run to tie it and then two more in the fifth, sixth and seventh to take over the game.
TJ Mittelstaedt continued to rope the ball going 2-for-3 with 3 RBI's.
Four other LBSU players had two hits and at least one RBI - Jordan Casas (2-for-4, 2 RBI's), Taylor Krick (2-for-3, 2 RBI's) Tre Dennis (2-for-2, RBI) and Steve Tinoco (2-for-4, RBI).
The Dirtbags (24-20) stole five more bases to give them 107 on the season. The school record is 123.
David Brown (2-0) worked a career high 3 2/3 innings for the win. He was one of five Beach pitchers to take the mound on the evening.
LBSU will be in Santa Barbara this weekend for a big series with the UCSB Gauchos.
At 10-5 in the Big West the Dirtbags are in a three-way tie for second place with Cal Poly (10-5) and CSUF (12-6), with three weeks to play.
To spice things up Cal Poly comes to Blair next weekend before the season finale series with Fullerton. So second place will be decided right there between the lines.
I'll be on the air live from Goleta all weekend (Fri - 2pm, Sat - 1pm and Sun - 1 pm) calling the games and you can listen in here.
