The Diamond 'Dogs took a break from MW play for five straight games, including a series win over Washington State on the road.
Despite stepping away from MW play for the weekend, Fresno State still remains at the top of the conference standings, two games ahead of second-place New Mexico.
The Bulldogs have nine MW games remaining in the regular season, six on the road (at San Diego State and Air Force) and three at home (against UNLV).
