  • CSU Bakersfield redshirt freshman designated hitter Andrew Allanson announced himself in earnest to the college baseball world last Tuesday night by belting two grand slams, one from each side of the plate, in a narrow 10-9 loss to Pepperdine.
  • Still in non-conference action over the weekend versus Utah Valley, the Lancaster product hit .571 (8-14) with two intentional walks, a home run in each of the first three games, five runs scored, his first collegiate triple, eight more RBI, and just one strikeout.
  • Allanson’s eight RBI against the Waves are a single-game program record, as he is also the first Roadrunner to ever hit two grand slams in a single contest. The first was an opposite-field shot from the left side of the plate in the fifth, and the second sailed over the scoreboard in left batting right-handed in the ninth to pull his team within a run.
  • In batting .556 (10-18) for the week, Allanson improved his season average from .246 to .313. He began last week with one home run and five RBI on the year, and now has six long balls and 21 RBI, both tied for second in the conference. The 16 RBI came over just 18 at-bats.
  • Allanson is CSU Bakersfield’s second straight Big West Field Player of the Week, following Jashia Morrissey
