McElreath to Attend Cal State Fullerton

Matt McElreath, Notre Dame High’s switch-hitting center fielder, signed a letter of intent Thursday to attend Cal State Fullerton.

McElreath (6-2, 195) had narrowed his choices to UC Santa Barbara and Fullerton. The decision was made more difficult when teammate and friend Jeff Antoon signed with Santa Barbara earlier in the week.

“I felt Fullerton is a little bit better program,” McElreath said. “Not that Santa Barbara doesn’t have a good program. It does.”

McElreath is batting .340 with five doubles, a home run and a team-high 16 runs batted in.
