In a defensive battle, Nevada’s softball team secured a 2-0 victory over San José State, claiming sole possession of first place in the Mountain West. Pitchers Ainsley Berlingeri and Hailey McLean combined to pitch a three-hit shutout, with McLean earning her 14th win of the season. The Pack’s offense came alive in the fourth inning, as Haley Painter’s two-run triple proved to be the difference-maker. Painter’s two RBIs brought her career total to 100, putting her just eight shy of the Nevada career top-10 list. The win marked Nevada’s fifth consecutive series victory, positioning them strongly in the conference standings.
Nevada will next face off against Utah State, who is coming off a series loss to Fresno State. The upcoming series promises to be competitive, with both teams vying for a top spot in the Mountain West. The Pack’s strong pitching performance and timely hitting will be key factors as they look to continue their winning streak and solidify their position at the top of the conference.
