Baseball loses two to fall to 1-7

Staff Report / The Collegian

Fresno State’s bats were silenced by Cal State-Fullerton pitching all weekend.

The Bulldogs lost both of their weekend games against the No. 3 Titans, the defending national champions, to drop to 1-7 on the season.

The Bulldogs were held hitless by Fullerton’s Ryan Schreppel until freshman third baseman Beau Mills got a hit in the seventh. That was the Bulldogs’ only hit of Sunday’s 9-0 loss.

On Saturday, Fullerton’s Ricky Romero had a similar performance, holding the Bulldogs hitless until redshirt freshman Brian Lapin doubled in the eighth. The Bulldogs lost 12-1 Saturday.

The third game of the series wasn’t played because of rain on Friday and early Saturday.

Fresno State hosts UC-Santa Barbara in a three-game series at Beiden Field beginning Friday.
