SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – The Fresno State baseball team is set for a mid-week matchup against the Cal Poly Mustangs on Tuesday at 5 p.m. PT at Baggett Stadium in San Luis Obispo, Calif.

Morgan crushed three home runs and a double last week, with a team-leading 1.063 slugging percentage.

He made several impressive defensive plays with a diving catch in right-center and a leaping catch in right field and hit a two-run homer in Friday's dominant win over UNLV.

In Saturday's win over UNLV, Morgan hit his first back-to-back home runs in a Bulldog uniform, the first of which was on the first swing of the game.

Angelo pitched his first career complete game in Fresno State's 10-1 victory over UNLV with only three hits and no earned runs against him.

Through nine innings he only allowed one walk and tossed a career-high 10 strikeouts while holding the Rebels to a .100 average.
