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)
