College Baseball:

Citrus dominated Bakersfield for the second time this week.

The Owls cruised to a 17-4 victory in Glendora in a Western State Conference South Division contest.

In the first two of a three-game series, Citrus has outscored Bakersfield by a combined margin of 30-5.

The Owls (14-7) have already surpassed last year’s win total of 13.

Conner Luetto got the win after going two runs on four hits over six innings.

Luetto improved to 2-1, and he issued one walk and registered nine strikeouts.

Landon McDonald went 3-for-4, including an RBI single and an RBI double.

Brady Baird walked, singled, tripled and scored a pair of runs.

Jordan Brito had an RBI single and scored.

Logan Judd got roughed up for six runs on three hits and three walks over the first inning.

Tony Fabian was charged with four runs on six hits and a pair of walks over three innings.
