Houston at Cal State Fullerton - Game 1 (L 2-1)

https://twitter.com/UHCougarBB/status/966319116612026369

Fullerton is 0-4 for the first time in program history after dropping 3 to Stanford last weekend and 1 to Nevada on Tuesday. Looks like they are having trouble scoring runs so far as well with only 9 runs through 4 games to include being shutout by Nevada.

CSUF has a total of nine runs in its last four games, three of them coming off of hits from Cardenas.

He not only leads the Titans in runs but also holds a .500 slugging percentage, tied with Mitchell Berryhill for the highest on Fullerton.

(Note: Apparently, the CSUF beat writer thinks Landon Etzel is hitting .667 with 2 homers this season)

CAL STATE FULLERTON HITS

Cal State Fullerton sits 0-4 on the year after dropping its Opening Weekend series on the road at Stanford and its midweek vs. Nevada.

The Titans were 2017 College World Series participants.

As a team, CSF is hitting .213 with one home run, four doubles and nine RBI.

Chris Prescott is leading the way with a .429 average (6x14), one run and one RBI.

The pitching staff owns a 4.36 ERA and has struck out 18 and walked 15 in 33.0 innings

Golden Spikes Preseason Award Watch List pitcher Colton Eastman will get the ball Friday. He is 0-1 with an 8.31 ERA with three strikeouts in 4.1 innings.

Preseason All-American Brett Conine will hold down the back end of the bullpen, and in 1.0 inning pitched, he owns a 9.00 ERA.

Can’t believe baseball has started already!
