DAVIS, Calif. -- No. 22 Cal Poly came from behind to defeat UC Davis, 7-2, Sunday afternoon in a Big West Conference softball game at La Rue Field.

On Sunday, the Aggies scored twice in the first inning against the Mustangs. This time, it was the result of consecutive extra base hits. With one out, Julie Stauder doubled into the left field corner. Next up was Harman, who launched her team-leading fifth home run to left center to give UC Davis a two-run cushion.
The Mustangs responded with two runs in the top of the second. With the bases loaded and two outs, consecutive walks forced in the runs to tie the game at 2-2.
