For the second day in a row, the Cal baseball team won in extra innings, edging Michigan 6-5 Saturday in 10 innings on Mike Reuvekamp's game-winning RBI single.

In the bottom of the 10th, John Soteropulos led off with a walk. He advanced to second on a bunt by Devin Pearson and scored on Reuvekamp's (Miramonte High) shot that cleanly sailed over left fielder Zach Zolt's head.

The Bears (2-0) trailed 5-4 going into the ninth. Brian Celsi led off with a single. He was bunted to second by Derek Campbell, stole third and scored on Andrew Knapp's single.

With four tries from four players, a 45-meter penalty kick by Jake Anderson and a drop goal from Russell Webb, Cal (11-0) beat British Columbia 28-18 at Witter Rugby Field.
