Fresno State turned to sophomore right-hander Garrett Mundell to end a string of disappointing outings for the pitching staff.

It worked well for three innings, as Mundell escaped a bases-loaded jam in the first unharmed, then faced the minimum over the next two innings.

But with two out in the fourth, Cal's Michael Theofanopoulos made his first hit this season count, mashing a two-run homer that set up the Bears' 8-1 win.

Fresno State got to within 2-1 with an unearned run in the top of the fifth on Taylor Ward's sacrifice fly but that was it.

Cal freshman right-hander Ryan Mason allowed only that in his five innings, striking out seven, and three relievers finished up the four-hitter.

The Bears are 5-0 at home while evening their season record at 7-7. Fresno State (3-10) has lost the first two in the series, three straight overall and its first six this year on the road.

Chris Paul made it 8-1 with a three-run home run off Tyler Stirewalt in the seventh. It was Paul's first of the season for the Bears.

The teams play at 1 p.m. today in Berkeley.

Ninth-ranked Oregon beat San Diego State 3-2 with a run in the seventh. No. 23 Oregon State, coached by four-time Bulldogs All-American Laura Berg, beat Saint Mary's 7-3.
