  • Jackson Lyon aided Cal State Fullerton to a home series sweep over UC Davis, hitting .667 in going 8-for-12 with five runs, two doubles, one triple, one home run and four RBI. The fourth-year junior slugged 1.250 with a .733 on-base percentage and three walks against zero strikeouts. Lyon made four clean outfield putouts defensively.
  • Lyon’s weekend was highlighted by an opposite-field, walk-off triple in Friday night’s come-from-behind 4-3 triumph. The Irvine native out of Woodbridge High School produced multiple hits in all three contests, including a perfect 4-for-4 effort in Saturday’s finale with a walk, three runs and two RBI.
  • Saturday marked Lyon’s second four-hit, three-run game in the last eight. They were the first four-hit performances of his college career. Thursday’s contest was his first with two doubles, with his first triple and fourth home run of the year coming the following day.
  • Lyon improved his season batting average to a team-leading .387. In fact his entire slash line of .387/.456/.595 tops the Titans and are career bests. He also shares team highs with 43 hits and nine doubles.
  • Lyon is a first-time Big West Field Player of the Week for his career, and is the first Titan to be so recognized thus far in 2022. He is Cal State Fullerton’s first field selection since current teammate Zach Lew was chosen to begin the 2020 campaign.
