BERKELEY – Cole Tremain was the unquestionable hero at Stu Gordon Stadium on Wednesday evening as the California baseball team (5-3) earned its first walk-off win of the season with a 6-5 victory over Cal State Bakersfield in 11 innings. Tremain sent his teammates into a frenzy when he plated Cade Campbell with the game-winning run on his one-out RBI single in the bottom of the 11th. Campbell had started the rally with a one-out single before moving into scoring position at second base when Alex Birge walked.
Tremain, a two-way player in his first season at Cal after transferring from Baylor, made the first start for the Golden Bears in right field and homered in his first at bat to lead off the bottom of the third. Not only did Tremain star at the plate, but he also earned a win on the mound with 2.2 innings of hitless relief as the sixth and final Cal pitcher. In addition. Tremain saved the Bears a run in the top of the eighth when he backed up first base on a ground ball to Campbell at third, retrieved Campbell’s throwing error wide of first base and threw out a Cal State Bakersfield runner at the plate trying to score from first on the play.
“It felt great,” Tremain said of his performance. “It was one of things where you stay ready, so you don’t have to get ready.”
