The Tigers took a 2-0 lead in the second after Richie Rowland and Luke Gadow led off the inning with back-to-back singles. Zach Townsend drove in Rowland's courtesy runner, Tyler Craig, with a one-out single to right and Jameel Ziadeh scored Gadow with a hit up the middle.

With the cushion, Mattos settled in on the mound. Through the first six innings he allowed three base runners off a second-inning hit by Ruge, a third-inning walk by Serruto and a Craig Edwards error at third base in the fifth.

Rowland, who lined a pitch onto the patio in deep right field foul territory during the middle of the game, finally turned on a pitch in the eighth. The Santa Rosa, Calif., junior hit his 10^th home run of the season with a 345-foot bomb into the wind in right. It was the first home run hit in the five-team tournament and tied Brian Chase for the CU team lead in 2010.

Mattos allowed a hit in the eighth, but Michael Caleb kept the shutout with a web gem of a play from shortstop. With two outs, Caleb robbed a two-out hit up the middle with a diving stop behind second base to retire the Fighting Saints. Mattos allowed two more hits in the ninth
