ARCATA - Five home runs, fourteen hits, and 11 runs put the Jacks in the win column after game one of Monday's match-up against Cal State Monterey Bay.  Humboldt outscored the Otters 11-8 after a combined 21 hits from the two clubs.  Game two was suspended in the top of the sixth due to light and will resume at 11 a.m. Tuesday morning at the HSU field.  The Jacks lead game two through five innings, 12-8.

Humboldt advances to 20-19 (8-13, CCAA) while the Otters fall 20-24 (13-15, CCAA).

The hitting war continued.  The Otters added a run in the third and two in the fourth to claim a one-run lead but it would not hold for long.

Humboldt's four-run sixth inning sealed the deal in the Lumberjack victory. A Chrissy Stalf, Nouzovsky, and Hiatt two-run homer carried the Jacks.
