(SAN DIEGO) Luke Reece and Noah Meffert hit Point Loma's first home runs of the season, but Chico State stymied the Sea Lions' offense in a Saturday sweep of No. 5 PLNU Baseball by scores of 12-3 and 3-0.
 
After the Wildcats scored five runs across the first three innings of game one, Reece's solo shot in the bottom of the third got Point Loma on the board.
 
Owen May then walked with the bases loaded to make it 5-2 in the fourth, before the visitors got out of the jam.

The visitors then shut out the hosts across the final two innings of game one, then all seven frames of game two.
 
Jack Bunnell (2 IP, 4 K) and Christian Williams (1 IP, 1 K) combined to pitch three shutout innings in relief of starter Brock Mayer (4 IP, 3 R (2 ER), 2 K), but Chico State limited PLNU to just three hits in game two.
 
Point Loma (1-2 overall) will now host Colorado School of Mines in a three-game series beginning on Friday at 1 p.m.
