FRESNO, Calif. (UNLVRebels.com) – The UNLV Hustlin’ Rebel offense erupted early and never let up Saturday afternoon, overwhelming the Fresno State Bulldogs in a 17-1 run-rule victory in seven innings at Pete Beiden Field at Bob Bennett Stadium.<\/p>\n
HOW IT WENT DOWN: UNLV (28-22, 9-11 MW) pounded out 15 hits, including six home runs, while scoring in four different innings to cruise to one of its most dominant performances of the season. The Scarlet & Gray wasted no time taking control. After back-to-back walks and a wild pitch moved runners into scoring position in the first inning, Nin Burns II<\/a> ripped a two-run double down the left-field line to put UNLV on the board. Jayden Hertel<\/a> followed later in the inning with an RBI single to give the Rebels a 3-0 lead. Gunnar Myro<\/a> opened the frame with a double before Burns II delivered again with a two-run single. Jonny Rodriguez<\/a> then launched a two-run homer to deep right field, and Gavin Taylor<\/a> capped the seven-run inning with a towering three-run blast to left as UNLV stretched the advantage to 10-0.<\/p>\n Fresno State (13-34-1, 2-17-1 MW) finally broke through in the third inning when Michael Boyd delivered an RBI ground-rule double, but the Bulldogs could do little else against the Rebel pitching staff. UNLV starter Carson Lane<\/a> kept Fresno State largely in check, allowing just one earned run while navigating traffic throughout his outing. The Hustlin’ Rebels also turned a key double play in the fourth inning to halt any momentum for the Bulldogs. UNLV returned to the long ball in the sixth inning. Drew Barragan<\/a> opened the inning with a solo homer before Rodriguez crushed his second homer of the afternoon, a two-run shot to right-center. Jack Salmon<\/a> added another solo blast later in the frame as UNLV extended the lead to 14-1.<\/p>\n Rodriguez put the finishing touches on the rout in the seventh. After Marcos Rosales<\/a> singled and Barragan walked, Rodriguez demolished a three-run homer to deep right field for his third long ball of the game, pushing the score to 17-1 and securing the run-rule margin. Reese Lueck<\/a> closed out the seventh inning for UNLV, striking out one as the Rebels sealed the mercy-rule victory.<\/p>\n INSIDE THE BOX SCORE: UP NEXT: UNLV will look for the series sweep against Fresno State when they return Sunday, May 10 at 1:05 pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
