Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 POMONA – The Chico State baseball team’s winning streak is Dunn, but not before the Wildcats stretched it to 15 games with a 5-1 win in the first of two games against Cal Poly Pomona at Scolinos Field. Saturday The Wildcats dropped the nightcap 1-0 as the Broncos’ Ryan Dunn threw a two-hit shutout.

The Wildcats’ 15-game win streak is tied for the third longest in the history of the program and the longest since the 2002 team set the school standard with 20 wins in a row. The Wildcats won 17 straight spanning the end of the 1999 season and start of the 2000 campaign, and 15 straight in 1997.

Blake Gibbs hit a one-out triple in the sixth and scored on Webber’s RBI-grounder to make it 3-0.
