ORANGE, Calif. — The Pomona-Pitzer baseball team cruised to a SCIAC-opening 13-2 road victory over Chapman Friday afternoon at W.O. Hart Park. 
 
Season Impact: The win improves the Sagehens' season record to 4-2, including 1-0 in SCIAC play. 
 
Cooper Berry led Pomona-Pitzer offensively with four RBIs, going 2-3 from the plate and scoring a run. Jack Gold posted three RBIs after going 2-5 with a homerun and a double while Jimmy Legg and Jc Ng each added two RBIs.
