• Jessi Alcala is a first-time Big West weekly award winner of any kind after slashing .750/.833/1.625 for second-place Cal State Fullerton’s dominant series sweep of CSU Bakersfield at home.
• Alcala went 6-for-8 with five runs scored, one double, two home runs, six RBI, four walks and one stolen base on one try. The Titan catcher reached base safely in 10 of 12 plate appearances for the weekend, and did not strike out.
• A fourth-year junior, Alcala was 2-for-3 with two home runs to begin Saturday’s twin bill, blasting a solo shot in the third ahead of a three-run effort in the following frame of an 8-0 run-rule decision. The two homers and four RBI were both new single-game career highs.
• Defensively, Alcala handled 18 putouts behind the plate cleanly without a mistake.
• Alcala joins teammate Hannah Becerra from Feb. 27 as Titans to earn Big West Field Player of the Week distinctions for 2023.
