4:39: And that’s the game. Other than a David Cooper single to right (an encouraging sign for the struggling slugger), the Bears went in order in the top of the 9th.  They’ll play again tomorrow, same bat-time, same bat-channel, at 2 p.m. at Blair Field against the loser of tonight’s 6 p.m. contest between Fresno State and host Long Beach State. It will be an elimination game, as the regional round is in the double-elimination format.

4:30: Rollin pitched a solid top of the ninth, allowing only one single. Now is Cal’s last chance here in the top of the ninth, with Cutler, Cooper, and Satin coming up.  If they’re going to score, it will start with these three. It would be a helluva time for Cooper to come out of his slump.
