Cal Poly Edges Long Beach State 6-2 in Home Finale
The Mustangs took the field on May 15, 2026 at Baggett Stadium, facing off against the 49ers of Long Beach State in a non‑conference showdown that drew a modest crowd of enthusiastic fans.
Cal Poly surged ahead early, capitalizing on a timely swing that sent Conner’s bat over the fence for a solo home run. Stewart added a RBI single, and Turnquist’s pitching kept the opposition at bay, ultimately sealing a 6‑2 victory.
The win improved the Mustangs’ overall ledger to 32‑21 and secured a 21‑8 mark in Big West play, while the 49ers fell to 17‑34 overall and 11‑18 in conference competition, underscoring the importance of the final stretch of the season.
Both coaches praised the teamwork displayed, noting that the bullpen’s stability and the offense’s patience against a disciplined pitching staff were decisive factors. The atmosphere remained electric until the final out, when the home crowd erupted in cheers.
Looking ahead, Cal Poly will travel to face UC Davis next week, hoping to build on the momentum generated by today’s performance, while Long Beach State aims to rebound in its final home series before the conference tournament.
