CLOVIS RODEO
ROPES IN 100 YEARS
Sole Train
collects
16,000 shoes
for charity
By Brianna Vaccari
@bvaccari10
Every year, the marketing strategies class of the Craig School of
Business aims to break a Guinness
World Record, but this year, a shoe
drive titled “Sole Train 2014” put
Fresno on the map by setting a
record.
A team of 12 students partnered
with Fresno State’s Vintage Days
and local businesses and collected
16,000 shoes, or 8,000 pairs of
shoes, surpassing its goal of 10,000.
The shoes were placed in the shape
of a world map on the lawn east of
the Science II Building.
“This is the first place in the world
to create the largest map made of
shoes,” said Bianca Mancilla, Sole
Train team coordinator. “We wanted
to put Fresno on the map in a positive way.”
The team was comprised of
Mancilla, Amy Bachmeyer, Andrew
Esguerra, Megan Souza, Amy Yang,
Wendy Moua, Chris Simons, Shelby
Davidson, Veronica Sandoval,
Cameron Jones, Afona Gebre and
Nick Gargan.
The 12 students were part of Dr.
William Rice’s marketing strategies class, which aims to break
a Guinness World Record every
semester. Nick Gargan, a Sole Train
team member, said Rice encouraged
the team to set a goal that would
benefit the community.

Despite Friday rain, Vintage Days draws big crowds
By Jesse Franz
@JesseOfTheNews
As a freak storm -- sandwiched between 90-plus
degree weather -- hit Fresno Friday, the fate of the
40th Vintage Days was up in the air. The few who
chose to brave the storm to attend the yearly festival hid under umbrellas and dodged puddles that
were only getting deeper.
Thursday night’s forecast reported that there
was a 50 percent chance of rain by 11 a.m., but the
grounds were drenched by 9 a.m.
By noon, electrical engineers setting up the
concert stage called it a day, wrapping the audio
equipment in tarps to try again Saturday. For the 11
bands ready to play the festival, their concerts were
canceled.
Vintage Days’ concerts, which have been part
of the events fabric since its foundation 40 years
ago, were in jeopardy. That’s when things went into
overdrive for a few performers and planners.
When Ethan Castro, a local DJ who performs
under the name ENRG, found out about the cancellation, he was distraught.
“We were performing my electronic songs live,
so I had a full band of people,” he said. “All of
the acts that day were suddenly canceled, and it
crushed my heart. I could only imagine what [the
other acts set to perform] were feeling like.”
For Castro, it turned out to be an opportunity.
Seeing that many of the acts were still ready to
play, he tried to find another place to perform, even
though no school facilities would be available on
such short notice.
After calling several local off-campus venues,

AN OPEN LETTER TO DONALD STERLING
Here’s to you, Mr. Sterling!
Los Angeles Clippers owner cements his place as worst owner in NBA history after alleged racist remarks surface
Congratulations,
Donald Sterling. Your
Los Angeles Clippers
are now postseason contenders and
poised to become the
new face of the city –
after the Lakers’ fall
from grace this year.
A team that was
Christopher
once the dictionary
Livingston
definition of “futile” –
it had 10 straight losing seasons after
you purchased it and recently had
only its fourth winning season in 22 –
is now at the top of its game.
Stars such as Blake Griffin, Chris
Paul and DeAndre Jordan are headlining a squad into a new era coached
by Doc Rivers, whose resume includes
winning an NBA title against a major
rival.
It’s an honor, after decades of being
the laughingstock of the entire league,
to finally own a team that is making a
playoff push. You, Mr. Sterling, have
done it. For once in the NBA, there
are the words “Los Angeles” in the
postseason, and the next word does
not read “Lakers.”
Oh, and let me remind you, the
players and head coach I just mentioned are black.
Black, as in the race you “privately”
bashed in front of your half-black
girlfriend in a recording acquired by
TMZ.
See, it wasn’t enough that the
Department of Justice sued you back
in 2006, alleging that you used race as
a reason whether people could move
into your apartment building or not,
claiming that, “black people smell and
attract vermin.”
It wasn’t enough that a jury’s
verdict went in your favor when
Basketball Hall of Famer and former Clippers general manager Elgin
Baylor sued you back in 2009 on
allegations of wrongful termination
based on race, claiming that you had a
“Southern plantation-type structure”
for your organization.
It wasn’t enough that, according
to the litigation, you told 1988 firstround pick Danny Manning, “I’m
offering you a lot of money for a poor
black kid.”
Now supposedly you had to cause
a ruckus over your girlfriend’s
Instagram post of her and Magic
Johnson. That benign post on her
personal account just didn’t sit well
with you. No, it’s not because Magic is
a former Laker. It’s far from that.
So, let me get this straight, you
don’t want black people watching
Clippers games – but you’ll gladly
take all of the advertising dollars,
(non-black) ticket sales, and the glory
when the black players you’re paying
actually perform well?
Well, you’ve done it now. The
Clippers are finally a respectable
team, and we are all reminded of why
they shouldn’t be considered as such.
The players are admirable – past
and present – but it’s the man signing
the checks who has made the team
look terrible.
For example, after deciding not
to sit out Sunday’s playoff game in
protest, your players took off their
warmup jackets and threw them at
the center of the court. They then
wore their practice jerseys inside out
-- all red, no “Clippers” to be seen.
The NAACP decided not to award
you the lifetime achievement award
(an award I’m surprised you even
qualified for, considering the earlier
allegations). And many, many people
have spoken out against you, including President Barack Obama.
Oh, and let’s add insult to injury:
you decided to do all of this in the
midst of a rivalry series. Now, fans of
the Golden State Warriors have something to use against the Clippers. I can
hear it now: “At least we love black
people!”
And the bigger shame is that your
actions will fall on the NBA. Adam
Silver has only been commissioner for
nearly three months, and he already
has a big controversy to work with.
We all sit and wait for his decision.
Maybe it will be a suspension, maybe
a slap on the wrists.
One thing that’s for sure, if you
wanted to solidify your spot as the
worst owner in the history of the NBA,
then I want to express my deepest
congratulations.
You have tattooed your name in
history.
Letters to
the Editor
Dear Collegian,
For the past two years, I have been part of
the Scholars In Services (SIS) program here at
Fresno State. SIS gives qualified students the
opportunity to volunteer at specific sites with the
goal of enriching their education through their
service. Through SIS, I have served at Wesley
United Methodist Church assisting with a variety of activities, from volunteering at The Pink
Cow thrift shop, to helping serve a meal every
Thursday through the Base Camp dinner. During
this process, I have grown close to the community and have learned so much, not only about the
El Dorado Park community, but about myself.
A college education provides students with
new knowledge, but SIS provides students with
experience. Even the straight A student must
acquire experience in applying what is learned
in the classroom in real-world situations. SIS
allows us to gain this kind of experience and
increases the service needed in our community!
Without a doubt, being part of Scholars In
Services has added a whole new dimension to my
college experience. The program has allowed me
become more aware of the needs of that community. I strongly encourage those who do qualify
for the program to apply to be a part of Scholars
In Service or to get involved in other community
service and service-learning experiences. Those
experiences will enrich your college education
in ways no textbook or lecture ever could.
Sincerely,
Arelis M. Clemente,
Fresno State junior
Dear Editor,
Imagine a Friday where instead of leaving
campus the moment classes concludes and
deserting the campus, students could instead
sniff the delicious aroma of fresh prepared food,
yet they don’t feel like eating at Panda Express,
Subway, Starbucks or the dinning hall. All
these exciting senses in their brains and organs
grapples their inner excitement to find gourmet
food. What if exclusively once a week a parade
of food is set up, and what if this parade is called
“Fresno State Cart Hop?”
Despite the good notion, that dream is a mere
figment of an imagination, because there is no
such concept at Fresno State campus yet.
The reason why food trucks are not allowed
only once a week on campus is completely
ghastly. Furthermore, the food choices on campus are mediocre and lack luster, and its one and
only food truck called “Bulldog Bites” does not
even serve gourmet food, moreover it is not even
consistent with its schedule.
There is no reason why Fresno State should
not have a cart hop like in downtown Fresno at
least once a week on campus where students
could try all the various local gourmet food by
local entrepreneurs. At the same time the university could profit from leasing a flat rate space
to the food trucks. I don’t see why it’s such an
issue for the university to not take such initiative
to make the university a more interactive and
community supportive education system.
Brace yourselves... finals are coming

shoe drive
SHOES from Page 1
All of the shoes collected were
donated to nine local nonprofit
organizations, including the
Poverello House, Big Brothers Big
Sisters and Highway City.
After its first meeting of the
semester, the team came up with
four proposals to submit to Rice,
Mancilla said. The Sole Train proposal began as the goal of creating
the longest “train” of shoes. But
after she took a trip to Hawaii,
Mancilla said the idea of creating
a map emerged.
“
The weather on
Saturday was a
drawback. We had to
wait for the rain to pass,
but we stayed focused
and got the job done.
”
-- NICK GARGAN
SOLE TRAIN PARTICIPANT
The team created a Sole Train
Gmail account and social media
accounts to promote the campaign, gather donations and track
progress.
Shoes were mailed from near
and far. Packages with shoes
had return addresses from
Washington, Oregon and Georgia
as well as northern and southern California, Mancilla said. On
average, each donation was about
20 shoes, with one of the largest
being 1,500 from Mendota.
The Sole Train team partnered with Fresno State’s 40th
Vintage Days for the last leg of
the campaign. Vintage Days visitors brought shoes and dropped
them off at the event Friday and
Saturday. The event created
even more local awareness for
the cause and drew thousands of
potential donors.
But there were a few setbacks
on Saturday, Gargan said, the biggest being the rain in the morning.
“The weather on Saturday was
a drawback. We had to wait for
the rain to pass,” he said. “But
we stayed focused and got the job
done.”
The map was finished Sunday
and measured about 70 feet tall by
about 140 feet wide.
“It felt great to complete such
a large project,” Gargan said. “It
had a lot of beneficial results, not
only for us but also for the community.”
The successful world record
attempts are not official until
Guinness verifies formal claims,
which can take several weeks. The
students are required to provide
evidence such as logs, official witness statements and photos/videos to Guinness.
Since the final verification
comes long after the semester
ends, Rice grades the students on
accomplishing stated goals and
executing business practices for
a successful marketing campaign
using real world experiences.
Successful Fresno State
attempts confirmed by Guinness
include the world’s largest fruit
salad in fall 2011 and the world’s
largest smoothie in spring 2012.

VINTAGE DAYS from Page 1
Full Circle Brewing Co. in Fulton Mall was
the best available location for the event.
But moving the concerts off-campus meant
they would no longer technically be a part
of Vintage Days.
The show would go on.
“Even though it was hailing, thunderstorming and no one knew about this but
for three hours before hand, we had people
come out to this place that virtually nobody
knows and support us,” Castro said.
“Saturday, it was still a bit of a chilly
morning, so there wasn’t as many people,”
said Ivana Tjheu, a Vintage Days student
concerts coordinator. “But as time went
on and the sun began picking up, by noon
there were a lot of people over here.”
To the merriment of Vintage Days
attendees and organizers, the sky cleared
up by noon Saturday, bathing the campus
in sunny mid-to-low-70-degree weather.
The festival was back to normal. Clubs
and Greek organizations were selling food;
vendors displayed products; and the music
was once again echoed throughout campus.
That included the most anticipated
musical act of the festival, The Wild Blue, a
1970’s progressive rock band that played at
the first Vintage Days 40 years ago.
“It was crazy. They’ve still got it,” Tjheu
said.
The performance was packed with
Fresno State alumni, she said.
Fresno State clubs and organizations
sold food products from across many cultures, ranging from pulled-pork to boba.
At 5:20 p.m. on Sunday, vendors made
their last calls for sales, wrapping up the
40th Vintage Days that saw tens of thousands come to the university’s campus -- a
year of planning and implementation by
students to put the festival together.

Film festival a hit in Fresno
A Clovis parade full of pride
200 entries paraded through Old Town Clovis to celebrate
the 100th edition of the Clovis Rodeo
This year’s festival marks its 10th anniversary and was headlined by international films
By Yvette Mancilla
@yvette_mancilla
Audience members settling in at the Tower Theatre before a screening of the short “Somehow” on
Sunday. The short was co-directed by Joell Hallowell, a Fresno native.
What started as a community group’s
efforts to bring independent films to Fresno
in response to a lack of diversity on screen
has now blossomed into the Fresno Film
Festival.
This weekend marked the 10th year of the
festival, organized by Fresno Filmworks, a
non profit staffed entirely by volunteers that
screens independent movies every second
Friday of the month at the Tower Theatre.
The festival has been put on since 2005
in April but in recent years has seen a slow
but steady growth in attendance, said Jefferson Beavers, president of Fresno Filmworks.
Fresno Filmworks recently celebrated its
12-year anniversary. Community members
who saw a need for experimental and independent films to be shown without having to
go outside of Fresno founded it in 2002.
This year’s selection of films offered a
wide variety of genres and cultures. The
films are foreign and independent films outside of the usual lineup seen at commercial
theaters, said Beavers.
Nineteen movies from 11 different countries and 14 shorts were screened out of 130
submissions the festival committee received
this year.
Seven short and feature-length movie
programs were held, featuring post-film
discussions with the filmmakers and producers.
The Q&A sessions with the filmmakers
were to provide an “interactive experience”
with the audience, said Beavers.
Although there were no definitive
changes to this year’s festival, Beavers said
the focus was mostly on international work.
“Particularly for the festival, we put
together a really strong cultural lineup that
gives people different voices to hear from,”
Beavers said.
Central Valley natives David Dibble and
Joell Hallowell directed two shorts, “Adonis” and “Somehow” respectively.
Dibble, a Hanford native, shot and filmed
“Adonis” at his parents’ house in Hanford in
2013. The partly animated short tells a story
of a young man who uses a dog from a dating service to quell his romantic woes.
Although Dibble was not present at the
festival, he said the event is a “good thing
for the community to have a variety of movies.”
Dibble also had advice for local filmmakers who want to get into the industry.
“If this is the only thing you want to do,
go for it,” Dibble said.
Miss California Rodeo Salinas was one of the many figures during the parade that highlighted
the western influence of Old Town Clovis.

World Bank exec to discuss ag, rural
development in Southeast Asia today
Dr. Sundaran Annamalai, executive director
of The World Bank Group, will give a lecture at
5 p.m. today in the Alice Peters Auditorium on
“Investments of the World Bank in Agriculture
and Rural Development in Southeast Asia.”
The lecture is part of a graduate seminar class
based on international culture, said Dr. Anil
Shrestha, a Fresno State plant science professor
and host of the event.
Annamalai will speak about The World Bank’s
involvement in Southeast Asia along with his personal experiences.
The Jordan College of Agricultural Sciences
and Technology is sponsoring the lecture.
CSU wins grant to digitize
internment-related documents
A grant from the National Endowment for the
Humanities (NEH) will allow six California State
University libraries, including Fresno State’s
Henry Madden Library, to expand access to documents relating to the internment of JapaneseAmericans during World War II.
The $40,000 grant (which also benefits
the Dominguez Hills, Sacramento, Fullerton,
Northridge and San Jose CSU campuses) will
allow for a digital project that categorizes letters, newsletters, tapes and photographs from the
1940s in which more than 120,000 U.S. citizens
of Japanese descent were forced into incarceration during wartime.
Fresno State’s Special Collections Research
Center at the Henry Madden Library was
awarded the first funds in conjunction with CSU
Dominguez Hills. The funding will support digi-
tizing 180 items as part of the pilot phase. The
campuses are seeking additional funding to digitize the complete collection, which comprises
thousands of documents.
“Outside of the Japanese-American National
Museum in Los Angeles, the CSU has the best
collections on Japanese-Americans as part of its
history of commitment to, and involvement with,
their respective local communities,” said Tammy
Lau of the Special Collections Research Center in
a release.
VP for Advancement search down
to four finalists
Fresno State’s nationwide search for a vice
president for advancement is down to four finalists who are visiting campus in April and May to
meet with faculty, staff and community members.
The new vice president will succeed Dr. Peter
Smits, who will retire this summer after serving
20 years at Fresno State.
The 10-member search committee is composed of faculty, staff and administrators and
is headed by Ray Steele Jr., chair of the Fresno
State Foundation board of governors and former
Fresno Bee publisher.
The candidates are as follows:
• Paula Castadio, president and CEO,
ValleyPBS.
• Randal V. Childs, assistant vice chancellor,
North Carolina Central University.
• Dr. Richard Daniel, associate vice president
for university advancement and special projects / executive director for alumni relations,
University of Texas at El Paso.
• Brian Kish, senior vice president, central
development, University of Arizona Foundation.

Tennis: Women’s team wins
MW title
The No. 1-ranked Fresno State women’s tennis team clinched the Mountain
West Women’s Tennis Championship
by beating second-seeded New Mexico
4-2 Sunday at Sierra Sport and Racquet
Club.
The Bulldogs (16-8) have won 12
straight matches and will enter the 2014
NCAA Tournament with an automatic
bid for winning their conference tournament. The win on Sunday secured
Fresno State’s first MW championship
in program history and is the ‘Dogs’ first
conference title since 2011.
The Bulldogs took two out of three
matches in doubles competition with
the tandem of Sophie and Anneka Watts
beating New Mexico’s Miza Bezdickova
and Lizette Blankers 8-3. Fresno State’s
No. 3 doubles team, Tanya Murtagh and
Rana Sherif Ahmed, gained a win as well
with an 8-1 victory over Rachana Bhat
and Susanne Baklini.
The Bulldogs will find out where
they’ll be headed for the NCAA
Championships on Tuesday at 2:30
p.m. A selection show will be hosted on
campus with details of the event to be
announced today.

Freshman
Guðrún
Brá
Björgvinsdóttir captured the Mountain
West Championship title by finishing
2-over par with a 218 (71-71-76) in the
three-day tournament. Björgvinsdóttir
made 10 birdies and recorded her best
finish of the season.
“I am really happy to win this tournament, and it is a great finish for this season,” Björgvinsdóttir said. “Overall, I am
happy with this tournament, and I am so
excited to start our next season.”
As a team, the Bulldogs concluded the
2013-14 season with a tie for third place
with a score of 45-over par (909) for the
tournament.
Junior Madchen Ly finished in sixth
place with a 6-over par, 222 (71-71-80).
Fellow Bulldog, Hanna Sodersten finished tied at 21st with a 15-over par, 231
(77-77-77).
“We really made a statement this
week of where our program is and where
we are headed,” said Fresno State head
coach Emily Milberger. “We ended this
season on a lot of positive notes.”
In making history again,
Björgvinsdóttir and Ly were named
second-team All-Conference for the
first time in the MW. The last Bulldog
to be named to an all-conference team
was Christine Uhalde in 2010 for the
Track And Field: ‘Dogs close
out season with strong home
showing
The Bulldogs men’s and women’s
track and field teams closed out the final
meet of the regular season by winning
a combined 14 events Saturday at the
Bulldog Invitational.
“Overall, our team performed well
today and really competed all the way
through the end,” Fresno State head
coach Scott Winsor said. “Our confidence level is great and right where
it needs to be going into the MW
Championships.”
Senior Meagan McKee finished in the
top three in all of the women’s throwing events, including a victory in the
shot put after throwing the shot over 47
feet. She finished second and third in the
hammer throw and discus, respectively.
In the track events, Kyra Johnson
won the 800-meter race with a time of
2:12.27. Bakersfield’s Ariana Mariscal
finished second. Kyra’s sister, Dezirae,
finished second in the 400-meter with
a time of 55.74 seconds, just .14 seconds
off of her season-best.
In the 4x400 relay, the Johnson sisters teamed up with Je’Nia Sears and
Njeri Omawahleh to earn a first-place
finish with a time of 3:42.55 to beat Cal
State Northridge’s team by almost two
full seconds. Sears also won the long
jump with a mark of 20 feet, 4 inches,
barely missing her school-record mark
she set earlier in the season.
Devin Harrison won two individual
events and also contributed to a relay
win. He won the 200-meter in 21.81 seconds, a season-best time for the junior.
Harrison also won the long jump with
a leap of 7.26 meters and then was a part
of the 4x400 relay team that won with a
time of 3:15.52.
Freshman Kamara Biawogi, who was
on that winning 4x400 relay, also won
the 400-meter hurdles with a time of
52.91.
Senior Michael Jamieson won the
800-meter in a close finish with a
1:52.28. He held off Cal Poly’s John
Guerrero by .38 seconds.
Kevin Poythress set a new personal
record in his last home meet. Poythress
ran a 9:00.06 in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. The time was 15 seconds better than Poythress’ previous mark and
eighth-best in Fresno State history.
Senior Roderick Dash won the hammer throw with a mark of 61.84 meters,
while junior Brice Sandri took first place
in the discus with a distance of 52.45
meters.
The Bulldogs will have 2 1/2 weeks to
prepare for their trip to the University
of Wyoming for the Mountain West
Championships that will take place on
May 14.

‘Dogs soar over Falcons
Fresno State tops Air Force on Sunday to complete three-game sweep

SOFTBALL
The Diamond ‘Dogs scored 11 unanswered runs
Sunday afternoon at Beiden Field to top Air Force
11-1 in a conference showdown, completing the
three-game sweep of the Falcons.
The victory marks the fifth-straight win for the
Bulldogs (24-21, 11-13 Mountain West), while the
Falcons (15-28, 5-16) have lost their third game in a
row.
“‘I think it’s been the whole team clicking,” Fresno
State third baseman Manny Argomaniz said. “As
they say, hitting is contagious. Ever since we started
our road trip in Reno, as a team we’ve been hitting
the ball really well. It’s just kind of snowballing and
going really well for us right now.”
AFA scored the first run of the game early in the
second inning before Argomaniz smacked a home
run, his third of the season, to left field to tie things
up at 1 apiece.
The Falcons never saw a lead again. From the
fourth inning on, the Bulldogs rolled up 10 more
unanswered runs to secure the win.
A strong five-run fourth led by outfielders Austin
Guibor and Jordan Luplow, who drove in a combined four runs in the inning, enabled the Bulldogs
to pull away. Kevin Viers singled to start the inning,
and then Argomaniz hit a double down the left-field
line to put him in scoring position.
Brody Russell’s bunt single sent Viers home and
gave the ‘Dogs a 2-1 lead.
With two outs, freshman Guibor connected for a
two-run RBI single, sending Argomaniz and Russell
home. Luplow smacked a two-run double to increase
the ‘Dogs’ lead to 6-1.
“What I’ve seen is way more aggressive swings,”
Fresno State head coach Mike Batesole said of
Argomaniz. “Even his swings and misses, you can see
he’s airing it out. When he swings and misses, you
go, ‘Hey, don’t throw that pitch again.’ Since he’s
stopped being careful and stopped trying to push
the ball to right field and just started letting it go, it’s
been good to have another bat in the middle of the
order.”
Argomaniz hit his second homer of the game in
the fifth to put his team up 7-1. The ‘Dogs added five
runs in innings five through seven to establish the
commanding double-digit lead and went on to maintain it.
Junior right-hand pitcher Derick Velazquez started the game for the ‘Dogs. The 6-foot-4, 200-pounder only allowed six hits and one run in his five innings
pitched and tallied four strikeouts.
The ‘Dogs topped the Falcons 8-1 in Game 1 and
6-1 in Game 2. Both games took place on Saturday as
part of a doubleheader. Fresno State is now 5-1 this
season against the Falcons.
Earlier last week the ‘Dogs defeated in-state opponents California (7-4) and Cal State Fullerton (2-1).
Fresno State will hit the road next week for its
next five contests. The ‘Dogs’ five-game road trip will
commence Wednesday when they travel to Southern
California to face Cal State Fullerton again. They
defeated the Titans in an April 23 interconference
meeting at Beiden Field 2-1 in a 16-inning game that
lasted over four hours.
‘Dogs round up Rebels
Fresno State wins weekend series over UNLV

Make no mistake, Fresno State softball pitcher Jill
Compton showed up to work.
She pitched in three games for 15 2/3 innings and
allowed one earned run for a 0.46 ERA against the UNLV
Rebels over the weekend.
“I’m trying to cut down the walks,” Compton said,
“because it’s something I’ve been struggling with. Getting
ahead of the batters has helped me. Coach and I have
been working a lot in the bullpen to throw strikes and mix
around my pitches.”
Two of those games she started (and finished). Her lone
loss came in the first game of a doubleheader on Saturday
“The first game on Saturday, she pitched phenomenal-
ly,” said Fresno State head coach Trisha Ford. “She had one
bad hit, but we just have to score and do a better job of supporting her.”
Sunday’s contest ended in a 1-0 decision for Fresno
State. Brooke Ortiz scored the only run in the game after a
fielding error by UNLV second baseman Jaexie Balilea. The
Rebels threatened to tie the game in the top of the seventh
when Emilie Valadez was in scoring position, but Compton
retired the side to get the shutout.
“We got one run for her, and she held off,” Ford said.
“She just really went to work. You can see her tempo. She
had great confidence and great mound presence today.
“She’s feeling good, and it’s a good part of the season for
her to start to feel good.”
Saturday saw more offense from Fresno State against
UNLV pitcher Morgan Ettinger. In the fifth inning,
Michelle Solomon blasted a three-run home run to left-

center field that was followed by a solo shot to the same
spot by cleanup hitter Stesha Brazil.
Fresno State pitcher Hannah Harris blanked the Rebels
until the seventh inning. A Tayler Van Acker single brought
home UNLV’s first run of the contest. With the bases loaded, Ford sent in Compton to get the final two outs of the
game for her first save of the season.
Now the Bulldogs are tied for first place in the conference with the Colorado State Rams who are visiting Bulldog
Diamond for a three-game set that begins Friday.
“It’s exciting,” Ford said. “For us to be in this situation is
what we’ve played for all season. We control our own destiny. We’re just putting ourselves in position to win. That’s
what we need to do: just take it game-by-game, pitch-bypitch.”
