Jacks Tame No. 15 Cougars, Clinch Series Win with Saturday Split

LOLETA, Calif. – Cal Poly Humboldt closed out the weekend on a high note, securing a series win over No. 15 Cal State San Marcos with a 4-2 victory in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader at the Bear River Complex. After dropping the opener 7-2, the Lumberjacks (22-15, 11-11 CCAA) bounced back behind clutch hitting and strong pitching to take three out of four games from the nationally ranked Cougars (25-10, 11-9 CCAA). With key contributions from Julia Rivera, Alyssa Ramirez, and Gaige Garcia, Humboldt continues to build momentum in conference play heading into the final stretch of the regular season. It was the first time Humboldt has beaten San Marcos in a series since 2019. 

"This was a big weekend for us and important that we got back on track," stated head coach Megan Corriea. "San Marcos is a good team and I'm proud of how we competed today, especially in game two. We have to keep this momentum rolling into April, starting next week on the road at Dominguez Hills."

No. 15 Cal State San Marcos Takes Game One of Saturday's Doubleheader Against Cal Poly Humboldt

Cal Poly Humboldt dropped the opening game of Saturday's doubleheader against No. 15 Cal State San Marcos, 7-2, at the Bear River Complex. The Jacks (21-15, 10-11 CCAA) got on the board first but saw the nationally ranked Cougars (25-9, 11-8 CCAA) respond with a steady offensive attack to claim the win.

Humboldt took a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Marisol Gomez was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, bringing Hailee Moore home. However, San Marcos answered in the second with an RBI single and took the lead in the third on a Gianna Lombardi RBI double.

The decisive inning came in the fifth when the Cougars put up four runs, aided by another RBI double from Lombardi and a fielding error that allowed two unearned runs to score. San Marcos added one more run in the sixth on an RBI double by Olivia Rivera.

The Jacks attempted to rally in the seventh when Hailey Meisenbach scored on a groundout by Shelby Shanks, but the comeback fell short.

Mason Hatton (1-2) took the loss for Humboldt, going 4.2 innings and allowing six runs (four earned) on nine hits. Ariana Bottel pitched 2.1 innings in relief, allowing one run on two hits. San Marcos' Jayline Sloss (10-4) went the distance, striking out five and allowing just one earned run in seven innings of work.

Meisenbach led the Jacks at the plate, going 3-for-3 with a run scored, while Moore and Marissa Brody each added a hit. Humboldt was held to six total hits on the day.
