STOCKTON, Calif. – For the second time this season, the Pacific baseball program fell to Cal State Bakersfield at home, dropping a 7-0 contest on Tuesday evening at Klein Family Field.
The Tigers (14-24) tossed up two tough innings that ultimately proved to be the difference in the Roadrunners (15-23) securing the decision. Cal State Bakersfield takes the season series by a 3-1 total.

Once again, the Tigers could not solve CSUB's Jack Leary, who threw four scoreless frames followed by the Roadrunners' sharp bullpen and defense. Lewis Barnum's second-inning three-run home run set the tone for the visitors as they went on to win the contest by a seven-run margin, thanks to the addition of four runs in the seventh.
