Yes, you heard that right. The Spartans (18-15, 12-4 MW) walk it off at Fresno State (18-18, 9-9 MW) with a 3-0 sweep late Friday night.

Senior Jack Colette hit an RBI double to win the game for the Spartans in their first season series.

SJSU played as home today due to a game being postponed from March 5.

The last time the Spartans took the field they lost off a walk-off and today they win off one.

A big part reason why the SJSU came out with a victory was the solid pitching performance today.

Senior Jonathan Clark got started on the mound today, going six innings strong. He only allowed one run and struck out six batters today.

In the top of seventh, senior Jack White came in with two on and two outs, keeping the game tied up at one a piece.

White pitched three shutout innings and season record of five strikeouts.

The hometown kid Darren Jansen came in at the top of the tenth with two on base and two outs, getting the Spartans out of the jam which would later help the Spartans walk it off in the bottom of the inning.

Jansen grabbed his second win on the season.

The Spartans will open up a new series tomorrow at Fresno State in an afternoon double header at 2:05 p.m.
