Bumstead’s First Home Run Finishes Matador Victory in 11

Mike Bumstead’s first home run for Cal State Northridge could not have been more timely.

Bumstead’s leadoff shot off of Noel Clark in the 11th inning Thursday gave the Matadors a 6-5 nonconference baseball victory over Portland at Northridge.

Adrian Mendoza (1-0) loaded the bases in the top of the inning but recorded three of his four strikeouts to escape.

Portland (9-8) scored twice in the 10th off Merrill Dunn, the second run scoring on a passed ball after Mendoza came in to pitch.

Tim Arroyo’s two-run double in the 10th tied the game, 5-5, for the Matadors (9-13).
