Friday's game was Long Beach State's only win taking a 12-8 win over the Mustangs. Steve Tinoco had an exceptional performance with a three run home run topping off a season high four RBI night.
Andrew Gagnon tallied his fifth win in a seven inning stint striking out seven and giving up one earned run.
Saturday's game didn't turn out as well for the Dirtbags as the Mustangs jumped on Dirtbag starting pitcher Jake Thompson early, scoring four runs in the second inning. A collection of hits by the Mustangs in the fifth had them a 6-0 lead until the Dirtbags scored a run in the bottom half. The sixth saw two more Mustangs runs, but the Dirtbags answered back stringing a three run rally bringing them to the closet deficit they would see the rest of the game in their 8-4 loss.
It was Sunday's loss that would sting the most for the Dirtbags. The game lasted for over four hours as Joey Terdoslavich put on a stellar performance at the plate going 4-for-7 with a home run and three singles.
Going into the bottom of the ninth, The Mustangs had an 11-9 lead over the Dirtbags. Late-inning heroics on a two run RBI double from TJ Mittelstaedt brought the game to extra innings.
However, after jumping ahead in both the tenth and eleventh innings, the Dirtbags failed to execute plays and two errors resulted in their 16-15 loss.
After this weekend, the Dirtbags are still in the middle of the Big West Conference standings with a 7-8 record in league. Overall the Dirtbags have a .500 win percentage with a 20-20 record as according to the Big West website.
