Garneau's First Major League Hit

DENVER - Former Cal State Fullerton catcher Dustin Garneau became the 59th former Titans player to appear in Major League Baseball after making his debut with the Colorado Rockies on Thursday night against the Washington Nationals at Coors Field in Denver.

Garneau doubled in his first career at-bat in the second inning off Nationals ace Max Scherzer. Garneau would finish the night 1-for-4 as the Rockies defeated the Nationals, 3-2.

The former Fullerton catcher became the fourth former Titans players to make his MLB debut during the 2015 season. Noe Ramirez, Michael Lorenzen and Danny Dorn have all seen time in MLB this season.

Garneau played four years at Cal State Fullerton (2005-09) and played in 143 games. He made 106 starts and had a .262 career batting average with 87 hits. He belted 10 career home runs and drove in 60 RBI to go along with 47 walks and 12 stolen bases during his four-year career with the Titans.

The backstop saved his best season for last as he set career-bests in batting average, rns scored, home runs and RBI. Garneau batted .284 in 53 games during his senior year in 2009, belting 44 hits including seven doubles and his first career triple. He blasted five home runs and had 28 RBI to help lead the Titans to the NCAA College World Series. It would be the program's last trip to Omaha prior to Fullerton's appearance in the CWS this past season.
