Pepperdine takes Cal Poly Regional on an epic Sunday night

Cal!

Poly!

Like a UCSB Soccer game at Spanos Stadium, Baggett Stadium was bursting at the seams on Sunday night.

Down 5-0, Cal Poly mounted a comeback to tie the game at 6-6 in the bottom of the eighth. In the process, the Baggett crowd came alive and made for the most electrified baseball atmosphere this county has ever seen.

Pepperdine rallied in the bottom of the ninth, ripping the heart out of every fan who had helped will the Mustangs back into the game and the Regional itself.

Cal Poly lost the game 10-6, but San Luis Obispo and its baseball fans won the weekend. I’ll post some quotes over the next few days in other stories, but here are some photos from the final game of the historic weekend.
