After being swept last weekend to open Big West Conference play, the Mustangs (21-7, 3-3) broke out some brooms of their own after they beat Cal State Northridge on Sunday afternoon at Baggett Stadium.
All nine Cal Poly starters collected at least one hit and freshman second baseman Matt Jensen homered and drove in four runs for the Mustangs.
Freshman right-hander Mason Radeke (2-1) struck out five and walked three, allowing nine hits and allowing three runs, one of which was unearned in seven innings of work.
Cal State Northridge starter Ryan McCarney (0-2) took the loss for the Matadors (13-17, 2-4) allowing four runs, four hits and two walks in the first inning alone.
Leading 6-3 after four innings, Cal Poly broke the game open with three runs in the sixth and two more in the eighth.
The series had been tightly contested through the first two games with Cal Poly winning in extra innings on Friday and Saturday.
The Mustangs will conclude their five-game homestand at 6 p.m. Tuesday when they host Saint Mary’s in a non-conference matchup.
