FRESNO, Calif. – The Fresno State baseball team continues its eight-game home stand on Tuesday with a midweek matchup with the Pacific Tigers at Pete Beiden Field at Bob Bennett Stadium.
HOT START
- The Bulldogs are starting 2024 on a hot streak with a 7-3 record through the first 10 games.
- Fresno State has played in three series this season and has won them all, including a sweep over Milwaukee to start the year.
- With a 7-3 record, this is the best start the Bulldogs have had since 2018 when they had a 9-1 record through the first 10 games.
- For the first time in his Fresno State career, Eddie Saldivar has been named Mountain West Player of the Week, the conference announced on Monday.
- The Fresno native lived out his childhood dream of hitting a home run at Bob Bennett Stadium with a solo during Sunday's double-header walk-off win.
- The second baseman went 4-8 combined in the Bulldogs' three games this week, with a double and three RBIs in addition to the six times he crossed the plate on his own, in addition to 8 total bases and four walks.
- Saldivar also had a 1.000 slugging percentage and a .714 on-base percentage.
- This weekend Saldivar was a brick wall at second base this week with several outstanding defensive plays over the Aztecs and is credited with 6 putouts and 4 assists for a 1.000 fielding percentage.
- Sunday starter Jack Anker earned his team-leading third win of the season in the Bulldogs' 11-1 walk-off win over San Diego State.
- The Tulare Western High School grad tied his career-best 7.0 innings pitched and eight strikeouts, both personal records he just set last weekend against the Cal State Fullerton Titans.
- Anker held the Aztecs scoreless through 6 innings and gave up only one run in his fourth-ever Bulldog start.
- In addition, Anker held the Aztecs to 4 hits and a .160 average against him and did not walk a single batter in his 7-inning long outing.
- The Pacific Tigers have had a slow start to the season with a 2-8 record through the first 10 games.
- Jack Metcho leads the Tigers at the plate with a .294 average, a .382 slugging percentage and a .409 on-base percentage.
