LBSU is 18-15, 3-1 Big West, while Cal Poly stands at 16-18, 3-2 Big West.
The Mustangs scored their lone run (in game two) in the top of the fifth inning when Lisa Modglin¹s two-out RBI single scored Jessica Rogers from third base.

Long Beach State used a three-run fourth inning to prevail 3-1 over Cal Poly in the first game of the day. After LBSU starting pitcher Michelle Turner gave up a solo home run to Chelsea Green in the top of the fourth, Turner came right back in the bottom of the inning with a leadoff double. After Jessica Beaver's single moved Turner to third base, Jonae Perez connected for a single to plate both Beaver and Turner to give LBSU a 2-1 lead. Breezy Goad's RBI single later in the inning plated Melanie McCauley.
