About the Sunbirds (7-14, 3-5 PacWest)
Fresno Pacific is coming off a non-conference series with Holy Names last week, taking the final game 5-3 in exciting fashion to finish the weekend on a high note. Freshman first baseman Brian Hefner brought the big bat on Saturday, lifting two home runs in the finale to move into a tie with Ross Dodds for the team lead. Right hander Nic Boatman took home PacWest Pitcher of the Week honors on Monday afternoon following an outing that featured 10 strikeouts and just one hit over 7.2 innings against the Hawks.

Concordia split last weekend's series with 14-ranked Point Loma, winning the back end of doubleheaders on both Friday and Saturday. With infielder Nick Grimes leading the way, the Eagles have posted a .302 batting average, good enough for third in the PacWest.
