Nevada Wolf Pack defeated the UNLV Rebels in a close 4-2 game at Earl E. Wilson Stadium on Sunday. Casey Burfield led the way for Nevada, holding the Rebels to one run over 5.2 innings, with support from relievers Caedon Kottinger and Dominic Desch. Junhyuk Kwon’s two-run single in the fifth inning proved to be the difference-maker. UNLV had opportunities to score, including loading the bases multiple times, but Nevada’s pitching prevented any significant rallies. Ethan O’Neal closed the game with his fifth save of the season, securing the Wolf Pack’s victory. Billy Ham and Sean Yamaguchi had standout performances for Nevada at the plate. The win improved Nevada’s record to 18-13 overall and 7-5 in the Mountain West conference. The Wolf Pack will continue their home stand with a game against Simpson University before returning to conference play against San José State and San Francisco. Despite a strong performance from both teams, Nevada’s efficient pitching and timely hitting secured the win against UNLV.
