Despite creating two multi-run innings, Cal State Fullerton baseball failed to overcome the six-run third inning from San Diego State and fell 9-6 on the road. Fullerton now holds a .500 record (17-17) and suffered its fourth road-series defeat of the season. “We did some good things this weekend. I thought we showed a lot of fight, but we need to be more consistent in what we do in all three phases,” Titans Head Coach Rick Vanderhook told CSUF Sports Media. The Aztecs scored all of their runs in the first three innings. They were able to take the lead in the third with a home run from shortstop David Hensley, three more hits and three walks from Titans pitchers Andrew Quezada and Tanner Bibee, one of which brought right fielder Chase Calabuig home. In his second game back after missing 14 with a broken hand, outfielder Chris Prescott earned his second home run of the season with a three-run bomb in the fourth inning, cutting the deficit to four. Aztecs pitcher Christian Winston walked Jace Chamberlin, allowing right fielder Ruben Cardenas to score in the fifth inning. However, that would be CSUF’s last run. Center fielder Mitchell Berryhill recorded his second straight threehit performance Sunday. He finished the series with eight hits, three RBIs and five runs. “It’s nice being able to finally be in a groove at the dish,” Berryhill told CSUF Sports Media. “I saw the ball really well this weekend and I think offensively, as a whole, we’re really starting to pick things up.” Second baseman Hank LoForte had a productive weekend from the plate, recording eight hits, three RBIs and three runs.

Softball takes down 49ers CSUF wins two games on Saturday to secure series against Long Beach State. JARED EPREM Sports Editor
Julia Valenzuela’s walk-off double in the bottom of the seventh inning completed a five-run comeback for Cal State Fullerton softball, taking the game 8-7 and the series 2-1 against Long Beach State. The double was Valenzuela’s fourth of the season, also earning her fifth multi-hit performance this year. “I honestly wasn’t thinking that much, just taking as many pitches as I could until I got a strike. Be short to the ball and put the ball on the ground, whatever it takes to score that run,” Valenzuela said. In the second contest of Saturday’s doubleheader, the Titans trailed 5-0 during the fourth inning. After walking the first batter she faced, pitcher Hannah Johnson exited the game for Taylor Dockins. Without any outs and the bases loaded, the 49ers were in prime condition to run the score up and put the game out of reach. “Personally, I was thinking to not let the ball get past me. I was catching the ball with two hands and trying not to let it go by me,” Valenzuela said. However, on her first pitch, the Titans made a double play to get the batter and runner on third out. The next batter grounded out to second baseman Sam Kennedy and Fullerton left the inning unscathed. SEE FIRST

center by graduate students in the Cal State Fullerton counseling program Thursday to represent the people killed in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and Virginia Tech shootings. Students in the counseling and culture class made visual displays on the College of Engineering and Computer Science lawn
to highlight the importance of voting in local elections and promote awareness of transgender issues and school shootings. “The focus is on understanding privilege, oppression and social justice issues. The idea for the class came from allowing students an opportunity to choose a social justice issue that they felt
passionate about,” said Sapna Chopra, Department of Counseling lecturer. Albert Xiong, a graduate student in the counseling program, said he chose to focus on school shootings because of their frequency. SEE JUSTICE
