Softball Secures Series Over UNR With 4-2 Victory In Game Two

UNLV scored four runs in the bottom of the third inning and held UNR off the board until the fifth

LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - The UNLV softball team collected another Mountain West series after defeating in-state rival UNR 4-2 in game two on Friday afternoon at Eller Media Stadium. This game is part of the Silver State Series presented by America First Credit Union.
 
Mantha Hatzenbeller drove in a three-run homer in the bottom of the third inning to put UNLV (30-20, 17-7) on top 4-0 over UNR (37-16, 16-8). Hatzenbeller was the offensive leader going 1-for-2 with three RBI and a walk. Diamond Sefe went 1-for-3 on the day, while Keyannah Chavez and Charelle Aki each drew two walks a piece, respectively. Bri Williams and Presley Barnes each also tallied a hit for the Scarlet & Gray. Lauren Fettic collected her 14th win in the circle and her ninth victory during conference play. Yanina Sherwood picked up her second save on the season.
 
HOW IT WENT DOWN: The first two innings were scoreless on both sides, until the Rebels broke it open in the bottom of the third. Chavez led off the bottom half of the third with a walk. UNLV then took advantage of a UNR fielding error to have runners on first and second. Aki put down a beautiful sacrifice bunt to advance both runners into scoring position. Barnes hit a single to left field bringing in a run to put UNLV on the board first, 1-0. Hatzenbeller then sent the first pitch she saw straight over the center field wall to give the Rebels a 4-0 lead. Both squads were held off the board in the fourth inning and in the top of the fifth inning the Wolf Pack hit a solo homer to left and made it 4-1. In the top of the sixth inning, UNR cut the deficit in half, 4-2, after scoring on a fielder's choice to second. In the top of the seventh inning, Sherwood and the Rebels retired the Wolf Pack in order to secure the series.

  • Fettic pitched 6.0 innings and only allowed two runs and did not walk a batter. She additionally struck out two Wolf Pack, both times looking.
