Head coach Mike Neu’s confidence is admirable, especially considering how well the Cardinal have played at Sunken Diamond in Palo Alto this season.

Cal came out of the series disappointed but with some encouraging glimmers of quality.

It’s a team racked with talent yet incapable of making big strides. Even so, the Bears look to pick up big wins over the upcoming competition.

Putting together consecutive series wins for the first time this season, Cal baseball has finally steadied itself.

After this weekend’s results, the blue and gold find themselves at the .500 mark. Their unremarkable record reveals one thing about this squad: They are remarkably average.

Cal’s offense might very well make the difference in this series as the Bears have had little to no trouble scoring this season.

Martorella, who was named Pac-12 player of the week, continued his red-hot streak at bat with a two-run homer.

With more than half the season played already, the blue and gold have an uphill climb if they wish to escape last year’s fate.

Finding solid pitchers to take the mound on ace Joseph King’s off days has been the ultimate challenge for Cal head coach Mike Neu this year.

Following its impressive Saturday performance, Cal looks to pull off a massive series upset against the No. 6 Beavers. It is to face ASU and Cal Poly in the coming days.
