This was not the case Tuesday night.
LBSU erupted for 16 runs in the first five innings alone en route to a thrashing of the Toreros of San Diego 17-3.
While a Tuesday game in early March is not a big deal it was a nice win for the D'Bags considering their loss to USD in last year's Long Beach regional.
Tre Dennis - who has looked tentative and lost early on after transferring to The Beach - slugged a home run, reached base six times and had four RBI's.
Jonathan Jones and Kellen Hoime both went 3-for-5 and scored seven runs combined.
Devin Lohman, Rylan Sandoval and a red-hot Steve Tinoco all added a pair of knocks.
Taylor Krick blasted his second homer of the year.
On the bump Jeff Lease (1-0) had a solid outing and earned the win. He went the minimum but struck out six and gave up just one first inning run. He gave up four hits and walked one.
Anthony Carrillo, Josh Corrales and Manny McElroy each worked a scoreless inning while striking out two.
Washington States comes to LBSU for a weekend series with the Dirtbags. First pitch on Friday will be at 6:30 p.m.
The Cougars are just 3-8 on the season but eight of their eleven games have been against ranked opponents (0-3 at #22 Arkansas, 2-2 vs. #16 Oklahoma and 0-1 at #7 Rice).
