DAVIS, Calif. – Colton Evans led UC Davis at the plate against Cal State Fullerton by finishing 3-for-4 with three RBI, Kyler Arenado and Spencer Gedestad each recorded a pair of hits and scored three times in Sunday's Big West Conference series finale at Phil Swimley Field at Dobbins Stadium.
 
Aggie starter Brett Erwin struckout a pair of Titans throughout his five-inning appearance and allowed three runs, as UC Davis scored twice in three of the first five innings to take a 6-3 lead midway through the game.
 
Gedestad created his team's inaugural scoring opportunity of the day when he opened the bottom of the second with a triple to the corner in right. After Arenado joined him by drawing a walk, Evans drove in Gedestad on his ground out to short.
 
Advancing to third on that play was Arenado, who touched the plate on the very next at bat when Jackson O'Boy smacked a single to center.
 
Even though the Titans (15-16, 8-4 BWC) took a 3-2 lead when it returned to the plate in the top of the third, UC Davis (10-24, 5-15 BWC) responded in its half of the fourth with another pair of runs to regain the lead.
 
As was the case in the second inning, a leadoff hit by Gedestad — this time it was a single to center — and an Arenado walk started another Aggie scoring opportunity. After Gedestad scored on Evans' single to right, Arenado touched the plate on a grounder to short from Jalen Smith.
 
UC Davis' final runs were scored the following inning when Campagna and Evans drove in runs on another ground ball to short and a double to center, which allowed Gedestad and Arenado to score on those respective plays, to push the Aggies' lead to 6-3 through five innings.
 
Cal State Fullerton scored once in the seventh, but it was a three-run eighth inning that ultimately led to a 7-6 Titan lead, which remained untouched for the rest of the afternoon.
 
UC Davis will return to action on Friday night when it heads to Honolulu, Hawai'i, for its next Big West series. First pitch for that series opener is set for 9:35 p.m. PT.
