SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – One of the top teams in the Big West this season, Cal Poly, showed why they're at the top as the beat the UC Riverside Baseball team 12-3. The Mustangs were able to control the game from start to finish and the Highlanders couldn't find a rhythm.
Â
In a game that wasn't pretty in which there was a total of seven errors committed, it was the Highlanders that came out on the short end. The Highlander pitching staff allowed 12 runs but only seven of them were earned.
Â
Senior Yeager Taylor gave the team their only lead of the game as he singled home fellow senior Dean Miller to give Riverside an early 1-0 lead. But after that quick lead, Cal Poly played well and took the lead in the following innings as they scored at least one run in the first six innings.
Â
Taylor and Miller combined for three of the Highlander's five hits with Taylor driving in two RBIs.
Â
The team received scoreless relief efforts from juniors Kevin West and Adrian Garcia as well as sophomore Ari Gerber. They combined to throw 2 2/3 innings only allowing one hit and striking out three.
Â
The Highlanders take on the Mustangs for game two of the series at 1:00 p.m. at Baggett Stadium.
