SAN DIEGO, Calif. (UNLVRebels.com) - San Diego State (34-17/14-12 Mountain West) evened its series with UNLV baseball (30-19/17-9 MW) with a 7-3 win on Saturday.
The Rebels opened the scoring by plating three runs in the second inning. Morgan Stotts led off the frame with a single to the third baseman. After Erik VanMeetren hit into a fielder's choice, Edgar Montes singled to left field, moving VanMeetren to second. Joey Swanner followed that up with a single to center field, driving in VanMeetren. McCallister then singled, scoring Montes, and Joey Armstrong singled to center, driving in Swanner.
