By: Washington State Athletic Communications

BERKELEY, Calif. – Washington State dropped a 6-1 decision to California Saturday night.

Tyson Guerrero recorded a pair of hits and Dillon Plew homered for the Cougars. Cal used four home runs to claim the second straight game.

In the first inning, Plew gave the Cougars a 1-0 lead after hammering a 3-1 pitch over the right field fence to lead off the game, WSU's first leadoff homer since Brett Jacobs did so against Dallas Baptist in 2011.

In the third, Cal pushed two runs on the board with a solo homer to left and followed a double with a two-out single for a 2-1 advantage.

In the fifth, Guerrero led off the inning with a double to leftcenterfield but was stranded at third after a couple groundouts. In the bottom of the inning, Cal took advantage of a Cougar error and hit a pair of homers to take a 5-1 lead and added another solo homer in the sixth for a 6-1 advantage.

In the eighth, the Cougars put runners on the corners after a Tyson Guerrero and a couple fielder's choice ground balls but both runners were stranded after Rob Teel flew out to the warning track in right field.
