Lay led the team with a 3.78 ERA and was a finalist for Pitcher of the Year, while Dessens smashed 350+ batting average, 10 homers, and 64 RBIs. Both earned All-WAC First Team honors. Under Coach Reggie Christiansen since 2011, Sac State now has 34 drafted players—a legacy built on grit and growth. Huge congrats to Ethan and Erick for making it happen.
