Box Score

POMONA -- Cal Poly Pomona turned the table on the Warriors on Sunday, thanks to its senior pitcher Jarett Attard and its all-of-a-sudden hot offense on senior day.

The Broncos pounded out 22 hits and Attard took a perfect game into the eighth innings for a 17-5 win over Cal State Stanislaus to close out the four-game set. Cal Poly Pomona snapped a three-game skid to the Warriors and improved to 23-26 overall and 15-21 in the California Collegiate Athletic Association.

Cal State Stanislaus, which won the first three games of the series, returns home with a 22-23 overall and 18-18 record in the CCAA. The Warriors are in fifth place, four games back of Chico State with four games to go. Cal State Stanislaus travels to Cal State Dominguez Hills (34-15, 24-12 CCAA) next weekend. Chico State is hosting last-place Cal State Monterey Bay.

Attard took a perfect game into the eighth inning and threw no-hit ball for 7 2/3 innings as Cal Poly Pomona set season-highs for runs and hits. Attard sat the first 21 batters he saw in order before walking Michael Johnson to start the eighth with a 17-0 Pomona lead. A ground out, an error and a fly out later, Colton Beatty singled in Johnson for the first Stanislaus run.

The Warriors tagged on four runs in the final inning on five singles that was capped by a two-run hit by Vince Hungerford and a RBI single to center by pinch-hitter Thomas Shull.

The usually-solid Eric Cendejas started for the Warriors on the mound on Sunday and cruised through the first two innings. Cendejas, who was coming off a shutout of Sonoma State last Sunday, got into trouble in the third as he gave up four runs on five hits, including two doubles, in the inning.

Pomona would add runs in the fifth and sixth and put the game away with a six-run seventh off relievers Phillip Quade and Derek Eaton.

In the end the Broncos had tallied seven doubles and a home run and were led by Travis Taijeron, who went 3-for-6 with a double and a homer to drive in five runs. Manny Navarro had three hits including two doubles.

Sunday's game was dramatically different for the Warriors as they had dominated Pomona with their pitching staff. They had allowed just three runs in the first three games of the series, a one point extending its scoreless strike to 27 innings.
