SANTA BARBARA, Calif.--Host Westmont got another outstanding pitching performance and their offense banged out 11 hits including three home runs to roll past CS Monterey Bay 8-1 on Friday afternoon at Russ Carr Field.

Now 2-0 in the three-team pod, the Warriors move to Saturday's game(s), facing the Otters again at 11 am. If CSUMB were to win that game, the two squads would play again on Saturday afternoon. One win for Westmont moves them into next week's NCAA Super Regional.

One day after Ryan Humphreys threw a gem in Westmont's 3-2 victory over San Francisco State, today it was Bryan Peck's assignment and he didn't disappoint. Peck gave up just one run, a solo home run in the sixth inning, and totaled 6.1 innings of work with five hits, two walks and four strikeouts. He threw 93 pitches before coming out in the seventh with runners on first and third, but reliever Caden Beloian induced a ground ball double play to end the threat. Beloian would finish the final 2.2 innings without giving up a run and allowing just one hit.

The Warriors also had plenty of offense today for Peck and Beloian. They got on the board quickly in the bottom of the first when Bryce McFeely singled and then trotted home on Daniel Patterson's two-run homer to make it 2-0. Grant Yzermans led off the third inning with a homer, and Michael Soper followed with a triple and would score on McFeely's sacrifice fly. 

The Otters got one run back in the sixth on KW Quilici's homer but the Warriors added four more runs of insurance in the eighth. Shane Hofstadler took a home run cut, followed by another run manufactured by Zach Mora's double and Soper's RBI single. Patterson then doubled, this time driving in two runs. 

Patterson finished with four RBI on the day with a double and home run. Hofstadler was also 2-for-4 with a HR, while Soper and Mora also had two hits each. 

Westmont, the No. 2 seed in the west region, improves to 43-12 with the win. The No. 3 seed Otters are now 37-18.
