THIS WEEK AT LONG BEACH STATE ATHLETICS

 
Player of the Week: Clayton Andrews, Baseball – Junior LHP/CF Clayton Andrews led the Dirtbags to a series win at Cal State Fullerton, hitting a triple in each game of the series, including a go-ahead, two-run triple in the 8th inning on Sunday. He was also the winning pitcher in the series finale, going a career-best 7.2 innings while allowing just one run to the rival Titans. He hit .500 on the week (6-for-12) with three runs, three RBIs & three walks to lead the offense.
