Stephen Strasburg was clocked at a new high Friday night against Nevada, throwing 102 mph seven separate times. His velocity, coupled with the location of his pitches, helped Strasburg to 16 strikeouts in the Aztecs' 5-2 victory at Tony Gwynn Stadium. ?He was throwing good, in rhythm," said SDSU manager Tony Gwynn. "The ball was down. He's pitching. You can't ask for any more than that.?

San Diego State University scored four runs in the second inning and pitcher Stephen Strausberg's strong performance on the mound made them stand up as the Aztecs defeated Bethune-Cookman University 6-3 in the first game of the 2009 Major League Baseball Urban Invitational on Friday afternoon. Strausberg allowed just one unearned run on three hits over 5-2/3 innings, adding 11 strikeouts. SDSU's Strausberg will likely be the top overall pick in the 2009 MLB Draft.
