Aztecs topple San José State on walk-off single in 11th inning

Senior shortstop Angelo Armenta celebrates after clinching a victory during the Aztecs' series against Nevada from March 8-10 at Tony Gwynn Stadium.

San Diego State senior shortstop Angelo Armenta stepped up to the plate with two outs in the eleventh inning – the winning run was on second base and his team was down 6-5 to San José State – his approach was simple.

“I was just trying to get a good piece on it and hit it up the middle,” Armenta said.

With two strikes on the count, the senior did just that and sent his teammates flooding out of the dugout to celebrate the Aztecs’ (27-19, 12-9 MW) 7-6 walk-off victory over the Spartans (19-27, 12-10 MW) on Friday night at Tony Gwynn Stadium.
