• Third-year sophomore CSU Bakersfield centerfielder Jashia Morrissey reached base safely in 11 of 14 plate appearances while leading his Roadrunners to a three-game road sweep at UC Riverside to begin The Big West play.
• The Los Angeles native slashed .750/.846/1.375, going 6-for-8 with five runs, a triple, one home run, four RBI, one stolen base, and five walks against a single strikeout. Morrissey also handled all seven defensive chances cleanly in center field, with his second outfield assist of 2022.
• Morrissey raised his batting average from .211 to .304, his on-base percentage from .262 to .400, and his slugging from .368 to .543 as a result of his stellar weekend.

• Morrissey went 3-for-3 with his first collegiate triple, second home run, three runs and two RBI in Sunday’s finale, falling a double shy of a cycle. He threw out a UCR runner at the plate in Friday night’s opener.
• This is Morrissey’s first career Big West Field Player of the Week nod.

Luis Ramirez, Long Beach State Baseball Pitcher of the Week  Sophomore • RHP • East Los Angeles, Calif.

• After being inactive for a week, Luis Ramirez took to the hill again in dominant fashion to combine with Matt Fields on a two-hit shutout of Hawai’i (4-0) in The Big West opener at home on Friday night.
• The third-year sophomore matched his season long of 7.0 innings, allowing two singles, one walk and a hit-by-pitch while reaching double-figure strikeouts for his second time as a collegian with 10 punch-outs, including the side in order in his final frame. Ramirez (2-0) posted the first double-digit strikeout performance by a Dirtbag in 2022.
• Ramirez continues to lead The Big West in ERA, which was lowered on Friday down to a minuscule 0.36, fourth nationally. It marked his third scoreless outing of 2022 among his four starts.
• Ramirez is a two-time Big West Pitcher of the Week, having also earned this season’s first such acclaim on Feb. 21 after his combined shutout at then-third-ranked defending national champion Mississippi State.
