BERKELEY, Calif. – Pacific baseball (9-17, 2-7) traveled to Berkeley to take on Cal (12-12, 3-9) Monday evening. The Golden Bears scored twice late to take a 5-4 win. 

The top of the Tigers lineup carried the offense, as the top four hitters in the Pacific lineup accounted for seven of the eight Pacific hits. Graduates Ben Nemivant, Jeremy Lea, and freshman Rylan Evans all had two hits. Lea drove in two runs, and junior John-Howard Bobo drove in a run. 

The Tigers flexed their youth on the mound, as all four pitchers were underclassmen. Freshman Ryan Martinez started the game and pitched 4.0 innings with one strikeout and five hits. Sophomore Owen McWilliam pitched 2.0 innings with three strikeouts and one earned run. 

Pacific got an early lead thanks to an RBI single from Lea to center field. Cal swung back in the bottom of the first with an RBI single down the right-field line. 

The Tigers took advantage of poor defense in the top of the second, scoring a run on a throwing error from the Golden Bears' catcher. A sac fly from Bobo scored the second run of the inning, bringing in freshman Jack Metcho. 

Cal scored four straight runs, scoring once in the second, fourth, sixth and seventh innings to take a 5-3 lead heading into the eighth inning. 

Lea drove in his second run of the game with an RBI single through the right side in the eighth inning. The Tigers had two runners on in the inning with two outs, but a strikeout left the tying run on base. 

Pacific got the go-ahead run to the plate in the ninth, but a double play ended the Tigers' hopes of making a comeback. 

Pacific is back in action this weekend, traveling to Santa Clara for a three-game series.
