The Aztecs secured their first home victory since the Arizona State series on March 6 on Tuesday night. Going into the midweek matchup, the Aztecs were coming off a 1-2 weekend in Nevada while the Long Beach State Dirtbags had just completed a 1-2 weekend of their own against UC San Diego.
The Scarlet and Black’s scoring frenzy began in the bottom of the third following a two-run triple from sophomore Caden Miller. Miller’s triple brought home redshirt sophomore Xavier Carter who had previously singled and redshirt freshman Tino Bethancourt who drew a walk.
Long Beach State made their only mark in the top of the sixth inning thanks to consecutive wild pitches by the Aztecs after a lead-off double from redshirt-freshman Rocco Peppi.
