After weather delays postponed the Fresno State baseball season opener on Friday, baseball was back in action at Pete Beiden Field on Saturday Feb. 16, as the Diamond ‘Dogs started a four game series against the Utah Valley Wolverines.
Saturday was scheduled to be a double-header for both teams, but weather only permitted game one of the series. The Bulldogs (1-0) started the season hot at the plate, scoring six runs in a 6-3 victory, and producing the 800th career win for head coach Mike Batesole.
For the ‘Dogs, senior second baseman Nolan Dempsey was in mid-season form at the plate, going 3-4 with a double and a pair of singles on the day, accounting for half of the Bulldogs’ runs with three RBIs.
