Dirtbags Sweep Series with Cal LONG BEACH, CA-- Junior Jason Corder went 3-for-4 with an RBI against his former team, as No. 20-ranked Long Beach State (8-4) won their third in a row and swept the mini two-game series against visiting California (5-7) 8-3 on Saturday afternoon. Andrew Liebel (2-0) went a career-high 4.2 innings for the win in relief, giving up just an unearned run on five hits. Liebel struck out three and walked none. Bryan Shaw got the final four outs for his second-straight save and fourth of the year. Robert Perry had two hits and drove in two in the fourth for LBSU. The Dirtbags took an early 3-0 lead with three runs in the second inning. An RBI single by Matt Cline started the rally, before a bunt single by Chris Nelson with runners on the corners, led to the second and third runs, as third baseman Michael Brady fired it into the rightfield corner to score Cline from first. A two-run double by Perry then made it 5-2 in the fourth, before Corder's third hit of the day, an RBI single, made it 6-2. Craig Bennigson went the first four innings, giving up six runs (five earned) on eight hits. Cal chased LBSU starter Omar Arif from the game in the third, scoring twice off a sacrifice fly by Josh Satin and an RBI double from David Cooper to cut the lead to 3-2. Arif went the first 2.1, giving up two runs on five hits. Cal mounted a rally off of Liebel in the sixth, scoring an unearned run on an RBI single from Brett Munster, but Liebel would strike out Brady to leave two runners on base in a 6-3 game. The Dirtbags will take the next weekend off, before traveling to Arizona State to start a seven-game road trip on March 9. |
