Scouting SJSU: The Spartans are coming off a 6-0 win
over Cal-State Monterey Bay ... San Jose is a lot like
Hawai'i in the sense that its hitters will use the
entire field and don't have a lot of power ... Hall
has 16 stolen bases in 19 attempts, Pierson is 10 of
15 and Angel is 19 of 27 ... The Spartans have made 27
errors in 44 games.
Scouting Nevada: The Pack didn't play Tuesday because
of the death of freshman pitcher Steven Masten ... The
Pack took two of three from Utah Valley State, winning
the final two games of the series ... Bowman and
Scobee remain the only two hitters over .300. Bowman
is at .390 and Scobee is at .350 ... Scobee (35) and
Walsh (30) lead the team in RBI.
