Coming into Wednesday afternoon’s game against the Pacific Tigers, Fresno State’s pitching staff was not doing the team any favors.
The Bulldogs (7-14, 4-8) were riding on a five-game losing streak in their return home against the Tigers (7-17, 0-9). During that span, Fresno State allowed at least nine runs in all of those losses.
And after building a 4-2 lead in the third inning, it seemed like Fresno State’s momentum was slowly shifting in the right direction. But then, the Bulldogs gave up eight runs and seven hits and recorded one error in the fifth inning.
