Oborn Keeps Streak Alive With Single

Spencer Oborn extended his hitting streak to 31 games with a single in his fifth at-bat for Cal State Fullerton, which scored seven runs in the fifth inning and went on to defeat host Pacific, 15-2, in a Big West Conference baseball game Friday.

The victory was the 17th in a row for the seventh-ranked Titans (27-5, 11-0 in conference). It is the fourth longest winning streak in Fullerton history and two shy of the school record of 19 set in 1978.

Oborn is seven games from the school and conference record of 38 held by Brent Mayne (1988).

Starter Jon Smith gave up two hits and one run in five innings to improve to 6-0.

Pacific’s Darin Moore didn’t give up a hit in the first four innings, but the Titans rallied in the fifth.

Chris Beck’s two-run single in that inning put the Titans ahead, 7-1. Beck had five RBIs, including a two-run single and a two-run home run.

Pacific is 22-11, 7-4.
