SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. ― In the final game of the MLB4 Collegiate Baseball Tournament, Cal State Fullerton baseball took two games out of three with its only loss coming at the hands of Vanderbilt University. The Titans bounced back on a cold Sunday night after their 14-9 loss against Vanderbilt, to salvage a 6-5 win against the University of Virginia. A ninth inning rally by CSUF proved to be the deciding factor in the Titans’ win over Virginia after its third baseman couldn’t make a play on catcher Daniel Cope’s bases-loaded grounder. “I was just trying to make contact and put the ball in play. I was in battle mode. I was lucky enough to put it in play,” Cope said. Prior to the ninth inning, the Cavaliers carried the momentum, starting with an errant throw by second baseman Hank LoForte and putting Virginaon the board in the first inning. Starting pitcher Michael Knorr limited the damage, leaving runners stranded in scoring position with a strikeout to end the inning. With Noah Murdock starting for Virgina, he retired the first

eight CSUF batters of the game until left fielder Jackson Lyon, the Titan’s ninth spot hitter, ripped a single into right field. The Titans didn’t capitalize on the single as LoForte followed up by lining out to center field.
The troubles continued for Knorr in the fourth inning with Virgina scoring three runs against Fullerton that stretched its lead to 4-0. The Titans started their offensive run in the top half of the
fifth with a double by Kameron Guangorena that went over the center fielder’s head. Guangorena later scored, along with first baseman Jake Pavletich, on a double from right fielder Jason Brandow.
The Titans were able to put themselves back in the game with Lyon scoring on a fielder’s choice that cut the Cavaliers lead to one, 4-3. SEE PREVAIL

Congressman Gil Cisneros, the Democrat representative of the 39th District opened his first home office in Fullerton this past Saturday, hosting an open house for the community to come ask questions and meet his staff. The office is located at 1440 N. Harbor Blvd., and was created with the goal of providing a central location in the district
according to Daphne Sigala, Cisneros’ District Scheduler and Director of Operations. “Fullerton’s dear to our heart, CSUF we’ve done so much for them and they’ve done so much for us, so we wanted to be nearby,” Sigala said. “When we were trying to figure out where we wanted to be, we knew Royce was in Brea, and the congressman wanted a whole new start.” Members from both the Washington D.C. and local offices were at the event, as well as Cisneros, who welcomed interest groups, donors and voters up to the office, before he officially cut the ribbon to his new

office. “It’s exciting for so many people get to come and see what is their office. I’m just holding the seat, but this office belongs to the constituents of the 39th, and I’m excited so many people have come to check it out and know where we’re going to be,” Cisneros said. City council member Ahmad Zahra was also at the ceremony. “Our mayor wasn’t available to come, so I decided to come and greet him to Fullerton,” Zahra said. “This is a good way of starting good collaborations with Fullerton as a centralized location. (Cisneros) can serve the entire district from here.”

The Orange County Employees Association hosted a barbecue in the picnic area outside, where after a brief introduction from Zahra, Cisneros gave a speech to the crowd criticizing the Trump administration, a staple of his campaign. “We’re not going to let him create these illusions, these falsehoods just to kind of distract from other things that he has going on,” Cisneros said. “He’s creating these distractions to just try and take our mind off of these things, but we’re going to stand up to the president. That’s why you sent me there.” SEE OFFICE

Health Services hosted their second WellFest at the Student Wellness Center, where students relieved stress by petting certified therapy animals, checked their posture with chiropractic screenings and learned more about health services offered on campus. The event was on Wednesday, Feb. 13 from 10 a.m. through 3 p.m. “The point of our event is to raise awareness on health screenings as well as education, but also serves as an open house. Students are able to meet the providers here. They’re able to meet the staff that they’ll come in see if they ever come to the health center,” Shireen Ady, health education assistant who coordinated the event, said. Students who participated received a passport that looked like a map indicating the stations they can visit. Some of the stations included Disability Support Services, the Student Recreation Center and Family PACT & Sexual Health. For each station students visited, they received a sticker. If students visited four stations, they earned a promotional item at the prize table. Students got a pocket recorder, where providers wrote down the date, their height, weight, body mass index and blood pressure after their screenings and a tote, where they could put all their free goodies.
