Cal State Fullerton, boasting a record of 20-19 and sitting in third place in the Big West, is coming in hot after taking two out of three games against Long Beach State.

With Freshman Daniel Arambula leading the Aztecs with an impressive .417 batting average and CJ Moran close behind at .400, there’s every reason to believe that SDSU will put up a fierce fight!

The last time these two teams met, the Aztecs emerged victorious with a solid 10-4 win at Tony Gwynn Stadium.
