Game Overview
NCAA Baseball matchup between San Diego State Aztecs (home) and San José State Spartans (away) scheduled for May 23, 2025. Both teams have had notable recent game activity in the Mountain West Conference, with SDSU coming off a mixed set of results and SJSU looking to challenge on the road.
Key Factors to Consider
- SDSU recently won against UNLV (8-0) but lost strongly to Nevada (4-15 in 7 innings). SJSU's recent performance is less clear, but does not indicate a dominant road streak. SDSU has shown inconsistency, especially defensively in their last big loss before this matchup.
- Previous meeting on April 17, 2025: SDSU defeated SJSU 5-2 in San Jose[3]. Earlier season games (not listed in detail), but SDSU historically has a slight edge in recent head-to-head meetings.
- No public injury reports available for either team at this time.
- Game is at SDSU's home stadium, Tony Gwynn Stadium, which typically provides a home-field advantage. Weather forecast is not provided, but California spring conditions are generally favorable for baseball.
- SDSU will look to recover from a heavy defeat and maintain momentum from their recent shutout win. SJSU will be motivated to avenge their prior loss and finish the season strong.
