THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — The pinstriped Cal Lutheran baseball team started off their Saturday doubleheader with a 13-3 triumph over the Caltech Beavers, and secured the sweep with a 17-3 win, on Saturday afternoon.

Finishing up the RBIs in game one was Zach Lafata, Scalzo, and Reuser with two each, and Max Heverly, Jalen Parks, and Durfee all had one.

Game Two 
Following a short intermission, John Frazier started for the Kingsmen and pitched 5.0 innings. Max Kendall relieved him for the last two and finished the game. The Kingsmen's explosive bats sent the Beavers home after seven innings. 

Heverly had a great afternoon at the plate tallying two doubles in game two and three RBIs. Sean Blandino recorded two RBIs of his own, one coming from his home run to right field in the bottom of the fifth. 

Nathan Nykaza got his name on the board with an RBI in a five-run sixth inning. Joining him on the stat sheet was Ryan Farr with another two RBIs. To complete the scoring plays, Scalzo tallied an RBI, Reuser tacked on three more, and Lafata added another two.
