They then followed that up with a winning record of three out of four games at Cal Poly.[2]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The Cougars have been one of the early-season surprises in the conference, leading the Pac-12 in scoring (117 runs, 9.8 per game), on-base percentage (.439) and stolen bases (18). Outfielder Jonah Advincula is batting .438 with five doubles, 16 RBIs, 14 runs scored and six stolen bases.[3]<\/a><\/sup> Sam Brown is hitting .438 with 10 RBIs and seven runs scored over the last four games.[3]<\/a><\/sup> The Cougars\u2019 pitching staff also leads the conference in strikeouts per nine innings (11.9).[4]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n
