LAS VEGAS - The UNLV Rebel softball team (16-34, 2-12) will closeout this season's home schedule in a conference doubleheader against San Diego State (29-23, 9-5) Thursday, April 27th. The first pitch is scheduled for a 1:00pm (PST) start time.
The team will also be ending a part of Rebel softball history. UNLV will compete at the Rebel Diamond for the last time...ever. With construction to begin this summer, the new Donrey Softball Complex is expected to be complete in time for the 2001 season.
The 2.5-million softball facility seats 1,500 fans and will have a fully functional press box, concession area and restrooms. Donations by the Donrey Media Group, James Rogers, President of Sunbelt Communications, and Jerry and Sue Lykins funded the construction of the stadium. The complex will sit on the corner between Earl E. Wilson Stadium and Myron Partridge Stadium/Shiela Tarr Smith Field.
The Rebels will close out their 2000 season on the road May 5th at New Mexico and May 7th at Colorado State. The MWC softball tournament will follow shortly after on May 11-13 at Salt Lake City, Utah.
