San Diego State upends Dirtbags

4-3 was once again an unlucky score for LBSU (14-14) Tuesday night as the Tony Gwynn-led Aztecs held on for a hard-fought victory at Blair Field.

Three of SDSU's four runs came via the long ball. Brandon Meredith hit a two-run homer to center in the first while Cory Vaughn blasted a solo bomb to left in the sixth.

Meredith also connected on the game winning RBI single in the ninth.

The Dirtbags stranded 13 runners in the contest.

John Hill was 3-for-4 getting a rare start behind the plate, while Jordan Casas was 2-for-5 with a double and his team-leading 13th steal. 

Dustin Rasco (0-2) got the loss in relief while Andrew Leary (2-1) got the win for the Aztecs (23-11).

Addison Reed got his NCAA-leading 11th save by shutting the door in the ninth, stymieing a last ditch Dirtbag effort in the process.

LBSU will take on No. 5 UCI at Anteater Ballpark in Irvine Thursday-Saturday, look for a full preview of that series tomorrow.
