Gauchos clinch series with comeback win at Cal Poly

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (KEYT) - Cole Tryba pitched 3 2/3 innings of shutout ball in relief as UCSB rallied to beat Cal Poly 4-2 to secure the Blue-Green rivalry series.

The Gauchos trailed 2-0 after five innings as the Mustangs Alejandro Garza had an RBI single in the third and a run-scoring double in the fifth.

But UCSB manufactured a run in the sixth on a wild pitch and took a 3-2 lead in the seventh on sacrifice flys off the bats of Ryan Severns and Rowan Kelly. A fielder's choice in the eighth gave the Gauchos an insurance run.

UCSB is now 7-4 in the Big West and Cal Poly is 10-4.

UCSB will go for a 3-game sweep on Saturday with first pitch scheduled at 1 p.m.
