Game 2

SEASIDE, Calif. –  Senior #Shea Davis# was perfect at the plate, a 4-for-4 performance, to lead the CSUMB baseball team to their first CCAA victory as well as sweep of the 2009 season.  The Otters nabbed the sweep over Cal Poly Pomona, 7-6 and 9-6 as their final scores.

In the opener, the Otters tied the game in the seventh on #Andrew Marquardt#'s double and took the lead on a Broncos error.

The Otters came out swinging in the seventh inning of the nightcap, recording five hits. Davis got things started with a home run to tie the game at 4-4.  Marquardt and #Dan Barras# each hit RBI singles with #Ryan Chagonjian# driving in two runs on his single.  

Marquardt's double in the eighth scored another run to give the Otters a 9-4 advantage, but the Broncos attempted to rally by scoring two runs in the top of the ninth.

Davis went 6-for-8 on the day with a home run and two doubles.  Marquardt and #Matt DeJesus# recorded five hits apiece in the two games.

Starter #Norman Hebert# (9.0 IP, 11 H, 6 R, 2 BB, 3 SO) pitched a complete nine-inning game to record the victory.

#Patrick McClain# (6.0 IP, 10 H, 5 SO, 2 BB) recorded five strikeouts in six inning and #Brian Callen# (3.0 IP, 2 H, 2 SO) entered in the seventh to clain the win.
