Last season, a midseason offensive explosion against a very good Texas team gave the Falcons the confidence boost they needed to propel them to a 10-5 record over the second half of the conference season and a fourth seed in the conference playoff.
This year, with the first complete team effort and all phases of the game contributing, the Easter weekend sweep of the Fresno State Bulldogs should put the Falcons in a good position to return to the conference tournament and make a run at a second consecutive appearance at the NCAA Regional playoff.
The spark for the sweep was provided by senior pitcher Jake Sansing making the first appearance as a weekend starter in his Falcon career.
