As the rain poured down on Tuesday night at Tony Gwynn Stadium, the Aztecs battled the Cal State University Northridge Matadors for their home opener, ultimately losing 7-5.
Even after surrendering six runs in the first two innings, the Aztecs showed fight, outscoring the Matadors 5-1 throughout the rest of the game with the aid of their bullpen. However, the early deficit proved too large to overcome and the Aztecs dropped their fourth straight game to start the season, their worst start to a season since 2010.
Conditions for the game were uncharacteristic of San Diego, as steady rainfall began to drop on players and fans throughout the entire runtime of the game.
