SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – All nine Cal Poly starters collected at least one hit and freshman right-hander Mason Radeke allowed just two earned runs in seven innings as the No. 16/23 Mustangs completed a three-game Big West Conference baseball series sweep against Cal State Northridge with an 11-3 victory Sunday afternoon before 1,638 in Baggett Stadium.

Senior first baseman Justin Hensley garnered three hits for the second straight game and freshman second baseman Matt Jensen added an inside-the-park three-run home run for Cal Poly, which won its fourth straight game, improved its home record to 13-1 and upped its records to 21-7 for the season and 3-3 in the Big West.

Cal State Northridge, held to single runs in three of the first four innings, fell to 0-10 on the road, 13-17 overall and 2-4 in conference games.

Radeke (2-1) struck out five and walked three in seven innings, scattering nine hits and allowing three runs, one of which was unearned. Senior right-hander Kevin Castner and freshman righty Jeff Johnson each pitched a scoreless inning in relief.

Johnson replaced Castner with the bases loaded and nobody out in the ninth inning and recorded a strikeout and two fly balls to the outfield to end the game.

Cal Poly has three players with double-digit hitting streaks.

Senior center fielder Ryan Lee tripled down the right-field line leading off the first inning to stretch his hitting streak to 18 games, the second longest since Cal Poly moved to Division I prior to the 1995 season. Brandon Roberts holds the mark of 25 set in 2004.

Jensen’s RBI single in the fourth inning extended his hitting streak to 15 games while sophomore designated hitter D.J. Gentile drove in a run with a first-inning single to up his hitting streak to 10 games.

After Cal State Northridge scored a run in the top of the first inning on right fielder Ryan Pineda’s grounder to second base, Cal Poly answered with four runs off Matador starter Ryan “China” McCarney in the bottom of the first and never looked back.

Gentile singled to score Lee, junior shortstop Kyle Smith singled with the bases loaded to drive in two runs and sophomore third baseman J.J. Thompson singled up the middle to cash in the fourth run. Cal Poly was hitting .233 with the bases loaded this season prior to Smith’s two-run single.

Each team scored single runs in the third and fourth frames as the Mustangs maintained their three-run cushion. A double by Smith scored a run in the third for Cal Poly and Jensen’s run-scoring single to left in the fourth gave the Mustangs a 6-3 advantage

Cal Poly broke the game open with three runs in the sixth and two more in the eighth.

Jensen’s long fly ball over the head of Matador center fielder Jeff Pruitt with two runners on base in the sixth inning resulted in his team-leading seventh home run of the season. Jensen had not homered since March 10 at Pepperdine, a grand slam.

Junior catcher Ross Brayton’s grounder up the first-base line in the eighth inning hit the bag and rolled away from Matador first baseman Dominic D’Anna, allowing the final two runs of the game to score.

McCarney (0-2), a transfer from College of the Canyons, suffered the loss, allowing four runs, four hits and two walks in the first inning. He was the first of six Matador pitchers used in the game.

Cal Poly won the first two games of the series in extra innings -- 11-10 in 10 frames Friday night on a wild pitch and overthrow at third base and 7-6 in 12 innings Saturday night on another Cal State Northridge throwing error.

Hensley contributed a single, double and home run in Saturday’s victory, scoring three times and driving in a run, and produced three singles and two runs scored Sunday. Listed as a catcher on the roster, Hensley played first base Saturday and Sunday due to injuries to juniors Wes Dorrell (illness) and Adam Buschini (broken hand).

Cal Poly produced 29 runs on 43 hits in the three-game series, lifting its team batting average for the season to .337. Hensley was 6-for-8 and scored five times while Gentile was 9-for-16, driving in four runs and also scoring five times.

Brayton finished 4-for-10 while both junior left fielder Luke Yoder and junior right fielder Adam Melker were 5-for-14 (.357).

Cal Poly concludes its five-game homestand Tuesday with a 6 p.m. non-conference game against Saint Mary’s in Baggett Stadium. The Gaels are 19-13 following Sunday’s 10-inning 7-6 loss to San Francisco.
