#23 New Mexico State (28-4, 3-1) at Fresno State (16-14, 0-0)
Pete Beiden Field, Fresno, CA

Defending WAC champion Fresno State opens up conference play against New Mexico State. The Aggies are already 3-1 on the young conference season after defeating Sacramento State three out of four in Las Cruces, N.M. Fresno State looks to open its title defense strong after struggling a bit in non-conference play. The Bulldogs have played the entire non-conference with every team taking its best shot as they face the defending national champions. That elevated play from opponents has left the Bulldogs with a 16-14 record entering conference play. Meanwhile, the Aggies have built a 28-4 record and have national ranking of 23rd in the Collegiate Baseball polls.

As of last weekend’s games the Aggies lead the nation in runs scored (12.3/g) and home runs (72) and are third in batting average (.372). The Aggies are also looking to extend their six game road winning streak which is currently tied for best in the country along with Georgia and Eastern Illinois. Fresno State is 5th in the league in batting average at .273 and is averaging 7.2 runs per game. Fresno State boasts the league’s third best ERA at 4.62.

The Warning Track with Brian Foley (April 10th)

– April 10, 2009Posted in: CBD Column, Conference USA, Pac 12, Patriot League

The Warning Track with Brian Foley checks in today with some of the biggest question marks heading into the weekend’s action.

The Big East squads and a few other conferences started up play on Thursday to avoid having a conflict with the Easter holiday on this Sunday. I find it very odd that one of the schools that didn’t change up their schedule is the College of the Holy Cross who is scheduled to play a doubleheader on Easter Sunday against Bucknell.
