The Mountain West tournament got off to an exciting start in the opening round elimination game between San Diego State and San Jose State. For most of the game it was a low scoring affair through most of the game.
The Spartans got on the board early with a run in the third and the fifth innings, but then the Aztecs tied it up in the bottom of the seventh when Jordan Verdon had an RBI double and that was followed up by a Verdon scoring the tying run with Dean Nevarez knocked him in.
Heading into the bottom of the bottom of the ninth the Spartans held a 3-2 lead with a home run in the eighth inning, but then the Aztecs bats came alive and tied the game when Verdon had another big with with a double to center field.
