FULLERTON, Calif. (Interstat) — Cal Poly’s Griffin Naess gets a quick rematch Sunday evening against Cal State Fullerton as the Mustangs try to salvage the final game of a Big West series at Goodwin Field.

Naess started Friday’s 4-3 loss to the Titans, throwing six innings of three-run ball while striking out four. The right-hander has been effective in his past two appearances, allowing just two earned runs in six innings in a win at UC San Diego on April 17, but he has struggled in his other two recent starts.

Cal Poly (27-21) enters with a winning record and the series even at one game each following Saturday’s contest. The forecast calls for 76 degrees and clear skies at first pitch.

Paul Contreras has been the catalyst for Cal State Fullerton (21-25). The right fielder went 4-for-4 with two RBIs in Friday’s win and has multiple hits in six of his last 10 games, including a two-homer performance at UC Santa Barbara on April 25.

In Friday’s game, Cal Poly first baseman Gavin Spiridonoff went 3-for-4 with an RBI, and relief pitcher Brady Estes threw two shutout innings with three strikeouts. For Fullerton, pitcher Andrew Wright earned the win with 2 1/3 scoreless innings, and starter Mikiah Negrete allowed three runs over 6 2/3 frames.

Interstat’s game simulator projects Cal Poly to win 6-2.

The Mustangs travel to Fresno State on Tuesday before returning home for a three-game series against Long Beach State. Cal State Fullerton heads to UC San Diego for three games beginning Thursday.
