Junior Tyler Adkison put the Aztecs on the board in their half of the third with a single to right. The Bulldogs still led 3-1.
But the Bulldogs added more in the fourth. Seniors Austin Guibor and Jake Stone both scored two with a single and a two-run homer to make the score 7-1 Fresno State and kick Thompson out of the game.In the fifth, sophomore Zach Ashford singled up the middle to score a run and the Bulldogs increased their lead to 8-1.
The Aztecs threatened in the seventh, but only got one run when junior Chase Calabuig grounded into a fielder's choice to score a run. The Bulldogs led 8-2.
Stone added his second home run of the game in the ninth and junior Jared Akins blasted a two-run homer off of Aztecs senior C.J. Saylor to secure the 11-2 game win and the 2-1 series win for the Bulldogs. The Aztecs lose their Mountain West title.
