COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Interstat) — The Air Force Falcons look to complete a three-game Mountain West sweep when they host the San Jose State Spartans on Sunday afternoon at Falcon Baseball Field.

First pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m. MDT under cloudy skies with a temperature of 58 degrees.

Air Force (20-20 overall) has taken control of the series with two dominant offensive performances. The Falcons defeated San Jose State 16-6 on Saturday and 20-10 on Friday, scoring a combined 36 runs on 35 hits over the two games. Air Force enters Sunday’s contest having won five of its last seven games overall.

San Jose State (17-22) has dropped two straight after winning four of its previous five contests. The Spartans are looking to avoid being swept in the three-game set.

Players to watch

San Jose State second baseman Peyton Rowles has been productive at the plate throughout the season’s second half. Over his last 10 games, Rowles is batting .367 (11-for-30) with eight runs batted in. In Saturday’s loss, he went 1-for-3 with three RBIs. Rowles also drove in a run in Friday’s 20-10 defeat.

Air Force third baseman Landon Boyd has been a consistent offensive force. Boyd went 3-for-4 with three RBIs in Saturday’s win and is 5-for-6 with four RBIs in the series. He has reached base safely in eight of his last nine games.
