CSUF student Vigil held in honor of stabbed in EV Pittsburgh shooting victims parking lot The suspect was apprehended by police and now faces two charges. NOAH BIESIADA Asst. News Editor

A 20-year-old Cal State Fullerton student was stabbed twice in the hands around 1 p.m. Wednesday in university parking at the Evangelical Free Church on North Brea Boulevard, according to the University Police. The Fullerton Police department arrested Luis Eduardo Munoz, a 24-year-old Anaheim resident, after finding him almost two hours later hiding in a nearby neighborhood. He was booked into Orange County’s Central Men’s Jail and was charged with one felony count for the stabbing and with one misdemeanor for resisting and obstructing a police officer, according to court documents. The stabbing victim was transported to a local trauma center; her wounds were not life-threatening according to the Fullerton Police Department. Munoz had another arrest recently. He pleaded guilty Oct. 5 to falsely representing himself to a police officer, according to court records.

CSUF rents 550 parking spots in the Evangelical Free Church parking structure to supplement campus parking. This semester, 519 CSUF students own permits to park in the lot, said Kristen Jasko, director of Parking and Transportation Services at CSUF CSUF police officers will be posted at the Evangelical Free Church parking structure for the next several days. Two student parking officers or Campus Security Authorities, are stationed at the lot at all times, Jasko said. “I see them often, just patrolling the area,” said Brian Salgado, a third-year CSUF student who regularly parks in the lot. “I’ve always felt safe, even last year I would get here around 6 o’clock when it was dark and I would feel safe as well.”

Heads bowed in prayer and hands clasped around candles at the CSUF Becker Amphitheater during a vigil commemorating those killed and

affected by the Tree of Life synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In the Jewish tradition, these candles represent the flame that “exists in every human and is created in the image of God,” said Daniel Levine, director of Jewish Student Life for Orange County Hillel and leader of Tuesday’s vigil. On Oct. 27, a gunman shot and killed 11 people inside the Tree of Life synagogue. The assailant, Robert Bowers,

was apprehended by the Pittsburgh police and brought to a hospital for treatment. Bowers made anti-Semitic remarks on social media prior to the shooting, according to CNN. The synagogue shooting is the deadliest attack on the Jewish community in United States history, according to a press release from the Anti-Defamation League, a nonpartisan Jewish organization focused on civil rights and human relations.

A familiar monster invaded Cal State Fullerton on Oct. 27 as “The Frankenstein Meme Art Show and Special Collections Display” was set up in the Pollak Library. This exhibit is part of the 200th anniversary and celebration of Mary Shelley’s famous book “Frankenstein.” Her work, seen as a huge literary influence, is rooted in science fiction but tends to resonate just as well in the horror genre. “We know (memes) as fun. You can see how people take the same picture and put new words

on it. They change it, they shift it, and pass it on,” said David Sandner, a Cal State Fullerton English professor who started the Frankenstein Meme project. “We are looking at Frankenstein and the literary influence of Mary Shelley’s story, so thinking about it as a cultural meme.” The celebration of Shelley’s “Frankenstein” was a unified work of art put together between the English and art departments at CSUF, as well as special collections from the library. The library extended its collection of science fiction work to this exhibit, hoping to bring life to forgotten pieces of the genre. Over the past two years, Sandner’s students were challenged with the task of unearthing all the “Frankenstein” novels or

novels influenced by “Frankenstein.” Their work was then brought to life in the form of an online searchable database, where 200 years of literary work was compiled through research work. Sandner’s students also received help from the Special Collections librarian Patricia Prestinary for the database and designer Laura Black for the look of the exhibit. The art in the exhibit comes from professor Cliff Cramp and his students, who were tasked with the creation of artwork related to “Frankenstein.” Together they created physical representations of stories that have been passed down generations and take the shape of many different forms of “Frankenstein.” “Our university already has a strong connection to science

fiction and you could say that science fiction as it is today was birthed by Shelley’s ‘Frankenstein.’ People consider it to be the first work of science fiction,” said Nicole Vandever, former president and founding member of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Literature Club. Sandner described his desire for students to engage and resonate with the story as a closer look into the cultural connection it has played throughout the years. He referred to the “Frankenstein” meme as something that spreads, changes and can keep mutating forever. As part of the “Frankenstein” celebration, there was also a marathon reading of Shelley’s famed work on Halloween day. The Frankenstein Meme exhibit and displays will be open to the public until Dec. 21.

Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer ended its chances for another Big West title after a goal in overtime put UC Riverside on top, 3-2 in the semifinal round. “Our guys played with a lot of heart,” said Titans head coach George Kuntz. “I’m proud of their resiliency, the way they played tonight. They’re disappointed but we stuck to our guns, we’ve played the way we always played.” In the first minutes of the game, Fullerton had two opportunities to get the advantage but the Highlanders defense deflected both chances. The duration of the first period was a battle for possession between both teams. However, UC Riverside pushed to complete passes as it had seven shots over the Titans six in the first half. It wasn’t until the final seconds of the first half that a shot from Highlanders’ midfielder Daniel Aguirre found its way past the reach of goalkeeper Paul Andre-Guerin’s hand for the first goal of the game.

The American flag waved high in the sky outside of Langsdorf Hall in honor of veterans at a ceremony on Thursday. The event was hosted by Cal State Fullerton’s Veterans Resource Center, to commence a month dedicated to recognizing veterans. “We have several different events to honor and recognize our veterans, our student veterans, our military-connected students here on campus and bring awareness to the campus community while we celebrate all the contributions of those groups,” said Rochelle Woods, executive director for special populations.

The campus police came out to the event due to its partnership with the Veterans Association and because some University Police officers are veterans, said Capt. John Brockie. “We’re part of the campus community, we want to show our support. We have many veterans in the police department,” Brockie said. “I’m a veteran and we just want to be a part of everything that’s about Titans.” President Donald Trump asked for flags to be lowered to “half-staff” on Oct. 27 in “solemn respect” to the victims of the Pittsburgh shooting tragedy.

A day after the vigil took place at Cal State Fullerton, the Beth Jacob Congregation in Irvine was vandalized with anti-Semitic slurs. On Saturday, Makom Shalom synagogue in Anaheim evacuated around 200 people after receiving multiple bomb threats from an unidentified caller. Clubs, community members and students at CSUF showed their support for and solidarity with the Jewish community at the event. AJ Mindel, a CSUF alumnus and founding member of Alpha Epsilon Pi (a Jewish fraternity on campus), said he came to the event to support his fellow brothers. “It’s a major tragedy and I think personally it’s a very scary situation because it has to do with a very vulnerable place,” Mindel said. “We’re supposed to feel safe when we’re in synagogue and I think that’s been taken away from us.” Levine led two Jewish prayers based around the idea of hope, which are customary for the Jewish community to recite at the beginning of vigils and funerals. One of the prayers has been used by the Jewish community in extended times of hardship, such as during the Holocaust and past wars in Israel. “It’s a focus on hope. It’s not a time for self-pity. The message is overwhelmingly, hope,” Levine said. Feeling numb at first when she heard about the synagogue

shooting, Rivka Pruss, a Jewish student leader at CSUF said she remembered breaking down and crying when she got home after Shabbat, the Jewish holy day of the week. Speaking to the crowd of people at the event, she referred to the Jewish community as a resilient bunch and expressed that, as Jewish people, the community should honor the memory of the 11 victims, who she named out of respect for their lives. “I ask that you do a mitzvah, a good deed in their honor, and for their loved ones,” Pruss said. Zachary Coleman, Alpha Epsilon Pi president, said he thought the event was a positive experience because it gave the Jewish community a space to share their thoughts and feelings surrounding the shooting and brought non-Jewish and Jewish parts of the CSUF community together. “Raising awareness for anti-Semitism is extremely crucial as incidents like this are happening.” “I would assume that half of our campus is probably unaware of the incident that happened and that this is what will bring that notice to them,” Coleman said. Coleman said he has never seen an event like the vigil during his time on campus, and described it as being what the community needs to get to a better place emotionally.

solidarity with the people of Pennsylvania,” said Maj. Jesus J. Cruz, department chair and professor of military science. Cruz is in charge of the CSUF Army ROTC program and spoke after the flag was raised to half-staff. “When the (Veterans Resource Center) reached out and said, ‘Hey would you like to participate?’ First of all, I was very honored just to be asked. I feel like it’s a privilege to be out here and that’s kinda what started my involvement in this event,” Cruz said. The Veterans Resource Center supports students who are connected to the military in their academic, personal and professional lives, and strives to guide students on their path to success, according to its website. The flag raising ceremony is just one ceremony out of the 12 events in total that will span over the month of November. The events are devoted to honoring the United States Marine Corps, Navy, Coast Guard, Air Force and the entire veteran community.

Gunshots were fired Thursday at 12:14 a.m., in the area near Cameo Lane and Pearl Drive. Fullerton police responded and found a Hispanic man in

his 20s on the ground with a gunshot head wound in critical condition. He was immediately transported to a trauma center. Fullerton Police Department has no one in custody as of print time, and no information beyond what the police department has posted online is currently available, said Lt. Jon Radus. Fullerton police detectives are actively investigating the shooting.

BRIGGETTA PIERROT Editor-in-Chief

Fullerton Police Chief David Hendricks resigned from his position on Friday. “I am honored to have had the privilege of leading the men and women of the Fullerton Police Department,” Hendricks said in the City of Fullerton press release. Capt. Thomas Oliveras and Hendricks were placed on paid administrative leave on Aug. 25 following reports of an altercation, which were investigated by the Irvine Police Department. Irvine police responded to reports of an altercation at a concert on Aug. 24 between the off-duty officers and two emergency medical technicians who were treating Hendricks’ wife at Irvine’s FivePoint Amphitheatre, according to a City of Irvine press release. Hendricks and Oliveras were

both ejected from the venue. The case was submitted to the district attorney’s office for review on Aug. 29. Irvine Police Department has not been notified of any charges against Hendricks, said Kim Mohr, communications manager for the Irvine Police Department, who described the resignation as a “personnel matter.” The press release regarding Hendrick’s resignation did not mention the investigation or altercation. A filing decision from the district attorney’s office has not been made, said Michelle Van Der Linden, spokesperson for the Orange County district attorney’s office. Hendricks made the decision to resign in unison with the City of Fullerton, said Stephen Hale, the City of Fullerton’s public information coordinator. Capt. Robert Dunn was named acting chief of police, following the investigation, and will serve as interim chief of police until someone is chosen to fill the spot permanently. The Fullerton City Council will consider options for the position in early 2019, according to the City of Fullerton press release. VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM

ASI holds town hall CSUF votes early at pop-up booth

Associated Students encouraged students to voice their concerns at the Titan Student Union on Thursday.

Associated Students held its first town hall meeting Thursday in an effort to engage with the campus community they represent. Representatives from Associated Students including programming, board of directors, board of trustees and executive officers came together in the Titan Student Union to have an open discussion with students. Aiming to bridge the gap between students and their elected representatives, Josh Borjas, Associated Students’ president and CEO, said he hopes it will open doors to more transparency. “Town hall was a mesh between the State of the Union and an open forum; we wanted to blend the two to really engage and to open up to students,” Borjas said. The town hall meeting was purposely placed at the Grand Staircase at the TSU for its student traffic and wide appeal. In 2016, the TSU completed its $20 million renovation. The building is the epicenter of the campus community, the hub

of study activity and welcomes more than 7,000 students on any given day, according to the Associated Students’ website. “Usually on a normal day this whole place is filled up with students. Sucks that we kind of had to take over the spot a little, but I think it’s worth it for this event,” said Ali Naeem, a member of the board of trustees. Students were encouraged to ask questions, voice concerns and talk about campus activity. Recent changes to the dress code in the Student Recreation Center and plastic usage on campus were among the topics brought up by students. One student felt that employees at the Student Recreation Center were insensitive in the way they were enforcing the new dress code, and wanted them to be better educated in how they should approach those breaking the code. Those concerned with plastic wanted to know what Associated Students was doing to reduce its usage on campus. Though Associated Students had no direct solutions to questions asked, they thanked participants for bringing issues to their attention so they could look into it further. “Students see a lot of things happening but they don’t really know exactly why or who’s behind the scenes doing the work,”

Naeem said. While this is the first year the town hall event has taken place at CSUF, Borjas said it’s not a new concept. “This has actually been a campaign item that many of ASI president and vice president candidates have run on since I was a freshman,” Borjas said. The student body aims to have several more town hall events on campus in the future, with plans to have one in both of the regular term semesters and after next year’s commencement of elected leaders for a transitional forum. Borjas said the town hall is a great way not only to open up leadership to public opinion and questions, but to touch base on current affairs since their elections. “We want to make sure that we’re being held accountable. If there’s anything that (students) want to see more of or less of, or things to change, we want them to let us know,” Borjas said. Borjas encouraged students to speak up at these events in the future. “I want to see more people here. You can yell. You can be upset. I don’t mind and our team does not mind. We want to make sure that we’re at least giving you an opportunity,” he said. The next meeting is planned for spring semester.

Students, faculty and local voters cast their ballots early on Thursday.

The Orange County Registrar of Voters set up a pop-up center on campus. OMAR SANCHEZ Staff Writer

The Orange County Registrar of Voters set up a Pop-up vote center at Cal State Fullerton on Thursday where students, faculty and local voters could cast their ballots early. The vote center offered voter resources such as quick reference pages and trained staff to answer any questions voters might have, from the general voting process to information about the propositions and candidates. The pop-up center was on campus for one day only, but voters can still cast their vote at their local early voter location. Normally, Frank Russell, an assistant professor in the communications department, sends his ballot by mail, but after finding out about the pop-up center through social media and email he took advantage of the opportunity to cast his vote early. “I enjoy early voting. I enjoy actually putting my ballot into the ballot box so it is the best of both worlds to get to vote by mail but also to be able to walk over here and vote when everyone else is voting,” Russell said. Wanting to make sure that she was entirely informed and not blindly voting in favor of candidates or on issues, Hannah Tjoa, a nursing student at CSUF,

came to the pop-up to fill out her ballot. “I was constantly battling, ‘Is this the popular vote or is this a good decision to make?’” Tjoa said. Russell said it is important for CSUF students to vote because of what is at stake for CSUF and the Fullerton community. “Students, especially our students, are going to be the future leaders of our community. They have a lot at stake when it comes to voting,” Russell said. While students might argue that it’s very rare that any election is decided by one vote, Russell said that CSUF’s 40,000 student votes certainly do matter. Tjoa said it is important that younger generations understand the importance of voting if they want to be involved in change. “There’s always complaints about policies being made yet we don’t have any action behind our words,” Tjoa said. “If you want to have your voice count, then you should go out of your way to be involved in politics, be involved in your community.” Students can continue to take action by voting before Nov. 6 at their designated voting location. On Election Day, CSUF will host a polling station at the Alumni House for those who have that as their polling address. Conditional voting will be available to those whose voting location is not the Alumni House.

Measure helps renters Proposition 10 may help to create more affordable housing.

WENDY CHAVEZ Staff Writer

Over the years, and as time progresses, the states are subsequently recovering from the 2008 Great Recession, during which 8.7 million jobs were lost and by 2009 unemployment was at a staggering 10 percent according to NBC News. In this economy, moving out can almost feel like a distant daydream due to the never-ending increase of housing rent. That’s why it’s so important to vote yes on Proposition 10. Proposition 10 will help control rent increase laws. This would repeal the 23-year-old law also known as the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act, which limits cities in California to be able to enforce rent control to any property built after 1995. This has allowed property owners and landlords to price and raise rent for new tenants. Voting yes on Proposition 10 will help stabilize rent and supports first-time renters in obtaining affordable housing, according to the PowerCA Action fund, a voting organization founded in 2011. They encourage voters to cast their yes vote on Proposition 10 in order for Californians to be able to live in and rent properties they can actually afford.

It is evident that young voters rely on government funding in order to remain above sea level, expenses wise. The average first-time undergraduate college student depends on Federal Student Aid to help pay for their expenses, which is an estimated 85 percent of students, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Students who do not receive sufficient financial aid to cover their tuition and other costs that come along with being a full-time college student, have to take out loans, often for thousands of dollars. If students want to rent an apartment close to Cal State Fullerton, they often cannot afford to do so because of the financial restrictions they face as well as the current upscale renting market in California. These restrictions have collectively hindered students’ ability to, often times, arrive to campus on time, successfully meet with professors and advisors, or seek on-campus support in a timely manner. Messages that advocate for a vote against Proposition 10, claim it will negatively affect homeowners and promote misconceptions, according to an article by KCRA 3, a Sacramento news outlet. One misconception is that the power to set rent control policies will continue to remain in the hands of local and county authorities and voting yes will not change the decision making. Another claim is that regulating the housing market will worsen the housing crisis, which is false according to KCRA 3. Voting yes on Prop 10 is not enough to transform the dynamic of local or national

housing markets. If renting a home in the foreseeable future is the plan, students must register to vote and vote yes on Prop 10 on Nov. 6.

Review: ‘Children of Eden’ has promise CSUF’s ‘Children of Eden’ whimsically retells the Book of Genesis. SOPHIA ACEVEDO Asst. Opinion Editor

Little Theatre became a forest filled with joyous singers and wild animals as Cal State Fullerton began its first production of “Children of Eden” on Oct. 26. “Children of Eden” retells biblical stories from the Book of Genesis through delightful music and song written by Stephen Schwartz, the composer of “WICKED.” The musical serves as an important reminder that every person has a choice and their decisions make an impact on their future. In CSUF’s rendition of “Children of Eden,” Director Rufus Bonds Jr. doesn’t try to overembellish or completely reimagine the tales of Adam and Eve, and Noah and the Ark. Instead, his directing cleverly focuses on the major themes from the Book of Genesis by creating close relationships between characters as a steady foundation in between musical numbers and a large ensemble. The first opening number, “Let There Be,” was a rare occurrence in the show where the characters lacked energy and focus. Though Father (Jack O’Leary) was a central role for the number, and in greater extent the first act, it takes the first two numbers before O’Leary settles into his character and takes an authoritative role. Once there were more established characters like Adam (Jeff Garrido) and Eve (Brianna Clark), the lackluster beginning proved to be merely nervous jitters. Garrido and Clark delivered strong performances as Adam and Eve. From eager yet

innocent-minded human beings in “The Naming,” to their final moments of life together in “The Wasteland,” Garrido and Clark were captivating to watch because of their great chemistry. Clark also shined on her own as Eve during the more sultry number, “In Pursuit of Excellence.” Her character’s naive yet curious personality contrasted well with the trickster snake who slithered back and forth in hopes of her eating the forbidden fruit. The snake was played by a carousel of actors including Jisel Soleil Ayon, Carissa Hamann, Courtney Hays, Marlon James Magtibay, Carly McLaurin, Beth Roy and Jacob Wayne.

一䔀嘀䔀刀䴀䤀匀匀

Perhaps one of the most effective parts of the play was the breathtaking scenery that captured the grandeur of familiar biblical tales and allowed the characters the liberty to roam freely. The forbidden tree was as beautiful and grand as one could imagine and Noah’s Ark was impressive and visually impactful. The scenic crew clearly worked hard on making aesthetically beautiful scenery for each musical number, and it made the show far more visually appealing. Another more subtle component that made the show work well was its lighting. The bright lighting during the

scenes set in Eden helped develop an excellent contrast with the darker and far less appealing Wasteland. The second act of “Children of Eden” also delivered more lively performances from the ensemble and dancers that participated during the larger musical numbers like “The Flood,” and “Ain’t it Good?” filling the stage with elegant movement and powerful vocals. However, aside from the musical components from the large cast, the second act which included the story of Noah and the Ark, the acting was less interesting and less well-established than those of the first act.

Though intimate moments are established between characters like Yonah (Yadira Del Rincon), Japheth (Timothy H. Lee) and Noah (Jacob Wayne), the connection between family members and partners appears less believable. While “Children of Eden” doesn’t carry a brand-new twist on the stories of Adam and Eve, and Noah and the Ark, it certainly still manages to tell the familiar story many know in a simple yet effective way. CSUF’s “Children of Eden” will run until Nov. 11, with tickets starting at $24 and $22 for students.

Kick: Titans end season one goal short CONTINUED FROM

“We just dropped too deep. It’s that simple. We gave up a goal right before half and it gave them the lead, now we’re catching the game and it’s an emotional swing for these teams,” Kuntz said. With Riverside up 1-0, the Titans looked to even the score. In its sixth corner kick of the night, Titans’ midfielder Ross McPhie was able to put the ball away from the cross with a header straight to the back of the net. The second half looked much like the first and Fullerton found itself with more possession over Riverside. In the 66th minute, another corner kick from CSUF ended with a goal that deflected off a Highlander’s foot and into Riverside’s net. Fullerton took a 2-1 lead and fought to hold the advantage until the end. With the momentum brought back into play, Riverside and Fullerton began to play with more intensity and aggressiveness. Within 10 minutes of the Titans’ second goal, three yellow cards were given. Only one of those cards was called on Fullerton. In the 81st minute, Guerin took down a Highlander in an attempt to stop an incoming ball from reaching the net and it resulted in a penalty kick. “I have to review the PK because I hear different things but it is what it is,” Kuntz said. “We didn’t create enough to put the game away and we have to be better when we have a 2-1 lead.” Guerin was given Fullerton’s second yellow card for the foul, and Riverside was able to tie the game 2-2 after Dusan Keca’s goal from the penalty. “There was two completely different styles of play and you can be the purest and say this team possesses and keeps the

ball and the other one lumps it. But it worked for them,” Kuntz said. “(Riverside) pressured well and created enough pressure to create those goals.” The final minutes of the game were a battle to break the tie, but neither team was able to score, forcing the match into overtime. “Fullerton is a good team,” said Highlanders head coach Tim Cupello. “A week later we’re in overtime again with them. They’re good and we’re good. It’s Big

West, its a great conference that we compete in, one of the best soccer conferences in the country.” With only two minutes left in the first period of overtime, a swift play from Riverside’s Daniel Castaneda in front of Guerin ended in a goal. The Titans couldn’t answer Riverside’s goal and were eliminated from the Big West Tournament. “I was looking for a little more gas at the end and there wasn’t somebody there that would take

that torch,” Kuntz said. With the defeat looming over the Titans and the 14 graduating seniors, Kuntz emphasized the experience they all gained in this final match. “You have to close it out and you have to finish the job,” Kuntz said. “What I asked them to do is don’t ever forget this moment in the loss because it’s a huge growing opportunity in life as far as accountability and responsibility.” In Kuntz’s five years with the program, this is the second time

the Titans will not play in the Big West Finals. “I hope that pain seeps in, you can’t grow without pain,” Kuntz said. “If there’s anything that comes out of this as a positive, these guys will now look themselves in the mirror and digest: ‘What could I have done better, what can I do in the off season that can make me a better player?’” This loss marks the end of the season and the beginning of preparation for those returning next season.

Men’s basketball sets tone for the season The Titans dropped 93 points against San Diego Christian College. OMAR SANCHEZ Staff Writer

Cal State Fullerton men’s basketball dominated San Diego Christian in its final exhibition game with a final score of 93-59 on Saturday. Scoring was led by guard Kyle Allman with 19 points and three rebounds, and guard Khalil Ahmad with 16 points, four rebounds and an assist. Meanwhile forward Davon Clare, shot six for six from the floor, while finishing with a total of 14 points, seven rebounds and an assist. “I created good offense whenever I had the ball on me and I got my teammates involved,” Clare said. Despite the dominant performance, head coach Dedrique Taylor feels the team still has a long way to go before it can reach its full potential.

“It’s just good to be able to get out there and compete against somebody else under the lights, scoreboard on, and (with) referees,” Taylor said. “A little bit of the pageantry is gone now. Now we can get ready and do what we need to do, which is get better.” Taylor was especially impressed with the skill sets and athleticism of new players. Freshman guard Wayne Arnold finished the game with 11 points, one rebound and an assist and noticed the difference in play from his high school days. “It felt good, my shot wasn’t falling but my teammates pushed me through and a couple of them fell in,” Arnold said. “The game is a lot faster and a little more physical.” Taylor believes the mindset and personality of this year’s team is different. Establishing their identity as a team is a priority as the Titansteam heads into preseason. “This year’s group has to establish who we want to be. We have a much tougher slate to get there,” Taylor said. “Nonetheless, there is a method behind the madness in

focused on creating a better atmosphere in which his players can be more connected and involved with the students, school and community. “It’s just about the experience and just creating a different level of pride, so that when people say ‘Cal

State Fullerton’ there’s just a different level of goosebumps that arises in each person that we are able to be in front of,” Taylor said. The season will begin on Nov. 6 when they face Arizona State with tip-off set for 5 p.m. at the Wells Fargo Arena

Hank played good in the leadoff spot, Sahid played good in the three hole and (Daniel) Cope had good at-bats.” Fullerton pitchers Michael Knorr and Timmy Josten shut down New Mexico batters with consecutive scoreless innings. In the sixth inning, doubles by the Aggies put the Titans in trouble when Noah Haupt lined a base hit to left field scoring a run. New Mexico added another run in the eighth inning after a leadoff triple by Joey Ortiz was cashed in on a sacrifice fly. The Aggies continued the hitting parade when Titans’ relief pitcher Titus Groeneweg entered the game and allowed four consecutive hits. After allowing a run and loading the bases,

Fullerton brought in right-hander Evan Larsen who recorded two outs to close the inning. In his third year with Fullerton, Larsen hasn’t pitched in a game. The pitcher underwent Tommy John surgery for a damaged ulnar ligament in his throwing arm and rehabbed for one year. “I thought he was super good in the first game to come up in a situation and do what he did,” Vanderhook said. The Titans won the first game with a final score of 6-5. The second game played out differently with the Aggies who started the scoring in the top of the third inning with a leadoff solo home run by Tristan Peterson. Both teams went scoreless for the next four innings until

the Aggies piled on three runs with two singles and a sacrifice fly from the bottom third of the lineup. New Mexico scored two more runs in the top of the ninth, leaving Titans grasping for life in the bottom half. The Titans lead off with two straight singles and an RBI double by Jordan Hernandez to put two runs on the board. The team ended up pushing across one more run by Borgogno but the comeback would fall short. The Aggies went on to win the second game of the doubleheader 5-3. Titans baseball will be back in action on Feb. 15 when they take on Texas Christian University in the MLB Collegiate Tournament in Surprise, Arizona.

Cal State Fullerton baseball hosted the New Mexico State Aggies for two nine-inning exhibition contests on Saturday. Despite not counting toward the standings for the 2019 season, the Titans bats came out swinging in the first game, scoring six runs on eight hits. Fullerton pitchers combined for four strikeouts and stranded seven Aggies on base. New Mexico jumped on the

board in the first inning after a throwing error by third baseman Brett Borgogno. The Aggies extended their lead once more in the same inning when Caleb Henderson hit a sacrifice fly to center. The Titans evened the score in the bottom of the first when Hank LoForte scored on a wild pitch and Jacob Pavletich drove in Sahid Valenzuela on a sacrifice fly. In the third inning, the Titans added four runs on a two-out rally. Fullerton sent all nine batters to the plate with runs batted in coming from Pavletich, Borgogno, and Jason Brandow. “I thought they had a good approach. I thought they played solid at the plate,” said head coach Rick Vanderhook. “I thought
