Baseball UCSD

Imeson and Abraham Help Tritons Even Series with 2-1 Victory over CPP

POMONA, Calif. ? The UC San Diego baseball team evened the four-game series at one apiece with a 2-1 victory over Cal Poly Pomona on Friday afternoon at Scolinos Field.  A one-out single by Garrett Imeson in the top of the seventh proved to be the difference maker as Imeson's hit drove in Matt Lawson for the go-ahead run.  Trevor Decker pitched his second consecutive gem, going seven innings and allowing just five hits and one run, while striking out four.  Decker improves to 2-1 on the season.  The four game series will conclude on Saturday afternoon with a doubleheader at Triton Baseball Field.  First pitch of the first game is slated for an 11:00 a.m. start.

 

UCSD generated a run in the first as David Morehead hit a one-out single.  Morehead would then advance to second on a wild pitch and steal third base.  Lawson then hit a foul ball out to left field, deep enough to score Morehead and give the Tritons first blood at 1-0.

 

CPP tied the game in the bottom of the third after a leadoff triple and an RBI groundout.

 

After Imeson's RBI single in the seventh, CPP still had opportunities.

 

In the CPP eighth, the Broncos tried to put together a two-out rally.  A single, followed by two hit batsmen, loaded the bases.  Eric Abraham came on for the Tritons in relief and recorded the final out of the inning on a pop out to second base.

 

Abraham then retired the ninth, earning his second save of the season.
