San Diego State baseball got its season underway on Friday, defeating the University of California, Santa Barbara by a score of 9-1 on a cool evening at Tony Gwynn Stadium.

SDSU began the night with a pregame ring ceremony to honor its fourth Mountain West Conference championship in the past five seasons, and members of last years team – including current and former players – gathered in front of home plate to receive their new hardware.

“It was really great to see (former players) and celebrate our championship last year,” head coach Mark Martinez said.
