An early deficit and slow offense proved to be too much for the Aztecs to overcome
In the opening game of a four-game series, the San Diego State Aztecs (4-9) were defeated by the Northeastern Huskies (4-5) by a score of 10-4.
“[Challenges we faced were] starting pitching,” head coach Shaun Cole said.
The Aztec starter was right-hander Omar Serrano (0-1, 12.46 ERA) in his fourth start of the season. In his second start, the opposing Serrano was Husky lefty Jordan Gottesman (0-1, 3.18 ERA).
Northeastern second baseman Carmelo Musacchia led off the game with a bang as he belted a triple off Serrano to right field after right fielder Zane Kelly misplayed the ball.
