Three games in 24 hours, bad weather and an early start for the rubber match. None of the three factors were a problem for the new look Golden Bears as they took the opening series of the season from Cal Poly, clinching it 8-1 on Sunday to start the season 2-1.
After losing 4-6 in the opening game of yesterday’s doubleheader, the Bears came back to even up the series with a 4-3 win in the nightcap.
Junior left-hander Matt Ladrech earned his first win of the season on Sunday, going 7 1/3 innings on the mound, allowing just one run on eight hits while striking out one and walking a batter.
