Titans’ Trentine Sidelined by Broken Foot

FULLERTON â€”  Cal State Fullerton catcher David Trentine is expected to be sidelined for three to six weeks because of a broken bone in his right foot.

Trentine was injured in the Fresno State series a week ago, and an initial examination had indicated a sprain, but further tests revealed the broken bone.

Trentine had been platooned with Craig Patterson, who will take over full time. Trentine was hitting .286 with six runs batted in and had played in seven of the first eight games. Patterson has been behind the plate the last three home games and is hitting .353 in 17 at-bats.

Fullerton’s game Sunday against Nevada Las Vegas was canceled because of rain, leaving each team with one victory in the series. Fullerton (7-5) is scheduled to play at UCLA Tuesday, then will host sixth-ranked Alabama in a three-game series beginning Friday.
