The Rainbow Warriors busted out Sunday for a 14-1 victory against San Jose State, extending their win streak to five and securing their best 23-game start since 2007.
Jackson Rees (3-0) was a beneficiary of all the run support, pitching eight stout innings in which he allowed only a run, five hits and four walks with three strikeouts.

Fogel, a freshman, hit his first career home run, lifting his average to .348, second-best on the team behind Rios (.373).
Rees needed just 83 pitches before handing the ball to Brody Hagel-Pitt, lowering his ERA to 3.50.
On Saturday night, Dominic DeMiero (4-1) pitched eight strong innings in UH’s 5-4 win.
The Spartans left town 9-14.
