A Dominant Stretch for Cal Poly
Cal Poly’s baseball squad posted a 5-2 win against Saint Mary's on May 31, 2026, a result that forms part of a broader run of victories that also includes triumphs over Long Beach State, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara and Virginia Tech.
The offensive surge was led by Gavin Spiridonoff, who launched a three‑RBI homer to left field in the sixth inning, and Ryan Tayman, who added a solo homer in the same frame. Both hits shifted momentum decisively in Cal Poly’s favor.
On the mound, Josh Volmerding earned the win after throwing six innings that yielded five hits and two runs, while reliever Nick Bonn shut down the opposition with two scoreless innings to record the save.
Additional contributions came from Nate Castellon, whose single to left field advanced a runner and drove in a run during the fifth inning, highlighting the team’s depth beyond the headline hitters.
The series of wins underscores Cal Poly’s competitive edge this season, blending power hitting with reliable pitching as the team looks to maintain its upward trajectory.
