Friday-

Quist on a solid but unspectacular outing. He went 6 innings while giving up 5 runs, all of which were earned. He did strike out 8 Matadors on the day while only walking 2. Overall the outing from Quist was not the dominant performance the Aggies had come to expect early in the year but it was an improvement over what he had thrown in some recent conference games. Nathan Slater and Matthew Lewis worked in relief of Quist, with Lewis picking up his 5th save of the year. While the Aggies pitching was decent, the story of the weekend for the Aggies was the offense.

The Aggies put up 15 hits against Northridge on Friday in route to scoring 9 runs. Kyle Mihaylo, Eric Johson, Paul Politi, and Scott Lyman lead the way for the Aggies going a combined 9 for 18, scoring 7 runs, driving in 6, and walking 2 times. Mihaylo and Lyman both went yard on Friday also giving them 5 and 4 on the year respectively at the time. The Aggies played with a a lead for all of the game, the final score coming in at 9-7.

Saturday-

Aggie pitching struggled on Saturday, Sean Watson started but only lasted 4 and 2/3 innings while giving up 4 runs. Scott Heinig came on in relief of Watson but struggled even more than Watson did, giving up 7 runs in 3 and 1/3 innings.

Sunday-

The Aggies offense was firing on all pistons on Sunday to finish out the series and they didn't even have one of their best hitters in the line-up. Scott Lyman took to the mound for the Ags so, given the plan that has been set out by Rex Peters, Lyman would not be hitting that game. The Aggies didn't even have help from David Popkins, another one of the most dangerous hitters on the team, he struggled going 0 for 3 on the day.

The offense was lead by Senior outfielder, Kyle Mihaylo. After going yard on Friday, Mihaylo did it again. Thats gives him a team leading 6 home runs on the year. Mihaylo finished the day 3 for 6, scoring 3 runs and driving in 4. Paul Politi and Eric Johnson were in sync again to finish out the year, going a combined 8 for 12 on the day. they scored 8 runs and drove in 3. While the offense was slugging on Sunday, they didn't need to score much to win because of the performance that Scott Lyman had on the mound.

It took the Aggies starter 105 pitches, his third highest total on the year, to get through 8 innings and hold the Matadors scoreless. He only allowed 3 hits and walked 1 batter while striking out 6. Lyman was named Big West pitcher of the week for his outing in Northridge. Mattew Lewis came in to finish the game and only needed 8 pitches to retire the last three batters.

Looking forward-

The Aggies have a match-up in Santa Clara on Wednesday this week before a weekend series at Dobbins Field against Big West Rivals the Pacific Tigers. The Aggies are currently tied for last in the conference but will have a better chance at wins moving forward because they already faced the three hardest teams in the division in Long Beach, Fullerton, and Irvine. The Aggies still have 4 more conference weekend match-ups to play with Cal Poly, UC Santa Barbara, and UC Riverside on the schedule after Pacific.
