Through eight innings CU (30-12) had stranded nine runners, hit in inning-ending double plays in the first and second innings and had another runner thrown out at home. But the Tigers picked up seven of their 17 hits with a two-out explosion in the ninth to put the game away.

Miguel Solano led the CU offense with a 3-for-5 day and an RBI. Five other players had two hits apiece — Chris Allen (2-for-6) with Casey Scott, Ricky McColloch, Garrett Everhart, and Jeremy Rosenthal all going 2-for-5). Shane Woodson had a hit in his only at-bat.

Rosenthal had two RBIs, but was overshadowed in that department when Richard Ramirez parked his first home run of the season, a three-run shot to right in the ninth.

Indalecio Romo , who was among six pitchers used by coach Beauford Sanders, picked up his sixth win by throwing two innings of one-hit ball. Matt Robertson, Chris Tuma, Nick Morehead, Logan Truex and Casey Congleton all saw action on the mound.

Lyon went up 2-1 in the bottom of the first and led by that score until Jeremy Rosenthal plated Alex Kline in the fourth. CU got a go-ahead run in the top of the seventh when McColloch and Kline hit back-to-back doubles.

Then the floodgates opened in the ninth.
