POMONA, Calif. --- Trailing 4-3, Cal Poly Pomona scored three in the bottom of the seventh and five more in the eighth to defeat Cal State Monterey Bay 11-4 on Sunday at Scolinos Field, taking the series 3-1.

The two teams matched each other run for run early on. The Otters scored two in the second when Jayson Furia (3-4 with 2 RBIs) hit an RBI-double to knock in #Matt DeJesus# (3-3 with 2 runs) and then scored himself on a passed ball.

But Pomona scored two in the bottom of the inning off CSUMB starter #Patrick McCLain# (6.1IP, 9H, 6R). When DeJesus singled to drive in #Matt Rall# in the third, Pomona scored again in the bottom of the inning.

DeJesus singled, stole second and scored on a base hit by Furia to put CSUMB ahead 4-3 in the seventh, but then it all came apart for the Otters. McClain hit the first batter in the seventh, then gave up a single and a double before being replaced by #Michael Trump#.

Trump allowed his inherited runners to score and then gave up five more runs in the eighth as Pomona sealed the victory. With the loss, CSUMB falls to 9-31 overall and 7-25 in the California Collegiate Athletic Association. Pomona improves to 10-25 and 7-15.

DeJesus finished the series 8-16 with 5 runs and 6 RBIs.  Furia went 5-11 with a run and 6 RBIs in the series. The Otters travel to Phoenix next for a four -game series beginning on Friday.
