San Diego State leads 2-0 after Bulldogs starting pitcher Matt Morse struggled early on with his command.

Aztecs No. 2 hitter Brandon Meredith, who entered the game hitting .309 with five home runs and 41 RBIs, hit a two-run homer.

But after a visit to the mound from pitching coach Matt Curtis, Morse settled down a bit and induced an inning-ending double play on a roller to Bulldogs third baseman Tommy Mendonca, who touched the bag then threw an out to first.

Fresno State's offense still hasn't done much. Mendonca, who went 0 for 3 against UC Irvine on Friday, got an infield single in the first inning but it led to nothing. Gavin Hedstrom got on base on a strikeout that sailed past the Aztecs catcher. But Hedstrom, too, remained on first.

Morse looked better in the second inning, aided by a stellar defensive play from Mendonca, who field a slow roller barehanded and still made the out at first.
