a sharp single to center field in the sixth inning to help the Aztecs claim a 4-3 victory and snap a four-game losing streak.
In addition, Glowacki made three putouts without an error
on the week for a clean 1.000 fielding percentage.
With his award, Glowacki received his first conference weekly certificate and SDSU’s third of the season after Alex Rodriguez
