SEASIDE, Calif. — Sunday's series finalé vs Cal State San Marcos brought a little bit of rain and a lot of wind to the Otter Sports Complex. The Otters got off to a slow start offensively as they didn't see their first hit until the fifth inning. 

Hayden Duer drilled the first pitch he saw to start the fifth inning with a bang as his fourth home run sailed over the left field fence, giving the Otters a 1-0 lead. The lead was short lived as CSUMB surrendered its small advantage in the top of the sixth as CSUSM plated four runs to take a 4-1 edge.

The Otters collected three more hits in the final four innings but saw the Cougars score three times in the top of the ninth en route to a 1-7 loss. Ryan Arambula (2-1) pitched well, but took his first loss of the season after allowing two runs in five and two-thirds innings pitched.
