Senior outfielder Tobey Riday-White looks to be a key component in Fresno State's success this season. The Berkeley, Calif., native transferred to Fresno State last season from Laney College and came on strong towards to end to cement himself as a regular in the outfield. In the opening series against Santa Clara this year, he matched his home run output from last year in game one with a three-run homer to help the Bulldogs win 8-5.
