2016 UNLV Baseball Weekly Notes: Week 13

LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - The UNLV Rebels remain in Las Vegas and at Earl E. Wilson Stadium this week, as they begin the second half of their season-long, eight-game homestand. UNLV, which went 3-1 at home last week, welcomes the Arizona State Sun Devils to town Tuesday evening for a 6:05 pm affair. The Rebels will close out the stretch with three contests in Mountain West play versus the Fresno State Bulldogs over the weekend.

RECENT GOINGS-ON: The UNLV Rebels (22-25) enter the week winners of four of their last five games after they claimed victories over the San Jose State Spartans (May 1: 3-2 in 11 innings), UC Irvine Anteaters (May 3: 8-6) and New Mexico Lobos (May 6: 11-6 and 8: 10-4). Their only defeat came to the Lobos on May 7 (6-2).

The Arizona State Sun Devils (28-16) have won eight of their last 10 outings. ASU had a five-game winning streak snapped this past Sunday at home by the Oregon Ducks (12-2). The Sun Devils had been victorious three times against New Mexico (9-5; 7-4 and 1-0) and twice versus Oregon (5-4 and 9-8) before their loss.

The Rebels and Sun Devils have squared off once earlier this year - an 11-7 UNLV win - on April 19 at Phoenix Municipal Stadium. The two played a home-and-home series in 2015 and each contest was decided by only one run: a 5-4 ASU win on March 11 and a 7-6 UNLV win on April 7/8.

TUNE IN, WATCH & LISTEN: The UNLV Rebels will have a live video stream for their game against the Arizona State Sun Devils Tuesday night. Additionally, the ESPN 1100 AM/100.9 FM radio call from Dug Dugless and former Major Leaguer Josh Towers will accompany the stream, which is produced by the Mountain West Network in conjunction with Campus Insiders.
