San Diego State baseball traded its bats for brooms, sweeping non-conference opponent Dixie State this past weekend in its second-to-last homestand of the season.
The Aztecs (22-9, 14-7 MW) came away with two narrow victories over the Trailblazers (11-26) in Saturday’s doubleheader, winning 8-7 and 5-4, respectively.
Redshirt sophomore right-hander Troy Melton took the mound in Game one, tossing nine strikeouts in 5.1 innings, tying his career-best.

Both teams drove in a run in the first inning, getting things started with an early tie that lasted until the top of the fourth when Dixie State senior first baseman Jake Engel hit his first of four homers of the day.
