In sunny San Diego, the Aztecs of San Diego State University (SDSU) are gearing up for an action-packed baseball showdown! On Tuesday, March 4, they are set to face off against the Cal State Fullerton Titans at their home turf, Goodwin Field in Fullerton, California. This promises to be an exciting matchup for fans and players alike, with the game available for viewing through live stats and on ESPN+ (a subscription is required).
As of now, the Aztecs have a season record of 4-8 and are keen to bounce back after experiencing a tough three-game series against Saint Mary’s. In those games, the Aztecs led at various points but unfortunately fell short, losing with scores of 19-9 (in eight innings), 5-2, and 7-3. It was a challenging weekend, but fans have reason to believe the team will gain their momentum back.
In the series against Saint Mary’s, a couple of players really shone. Finley Bates put on a strong show, batting .417 with five hits out of twelve at-bats, along with two RBIs, two runs scored, and one stolen base. Meanwhile, CJ Moran demonstrated impressive skills by batting .400 with four hits, including two doubles, two RBIs, and two runs scored. With performances like these, the Aztecs certainly have the talent to turn this season around!
On the other side of the diamond, Cal State Fullerton enters the matchup with a record of 3-8. They’ve recently found their groove by winning the last two games in a series against Wichita State, claiming victory with scores of 5-0 and 7-5, after dropping the opener 5-4. Clearly, the Titans are working hard to get back on track as well.
When it comes to the pitching action, SDSU is likely to send sophomore Garvey Rumary to the mound. Rumary, who hasn’t yet recorded a win this season (0-0), has seen action in five games so far and previously pitched against the University of San Diego. On the opposing team, junior Jayden Harper will be taking the starting position for Cal State Fullerton. Harper, also looking for his first win at 0-0, has made two relief appearances this season and will be bringing fresh energy to the game.

Historically, SDSU and Cal State Fullerton have faced each other a whopping 76 times. The Titans currently lead the all-time series with 48 wins against the Aztecs’ 27. However, the last time they clashed was during the abbreviated season of 2020, where the Aztecs claimed an 8-4 win. Both teams will face off once again later in the season on April 22 in San Diego, making this matchup a chance for SDSU to build momentum.
