Rebels Defeat Tigers in Pitchers' Duel

LAS VEGAS, Nev. – After dropping the series opener to the Rebels on Thursday, the Pacific baseball team (8-19, 0-9) could not even the series against UNLV (13-7, 9-6) on Friday afternoon, falling in a tight contest, 3-2.
 
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:
  • Out of the gates, both Hayden Pearce and Bradley Spooner got off to good starts on the mound, as each starter did not allow a run through the first two innings of play.
  • In the bottom of the third, UNLV struck first on a two-out RBI single from first baseman Jack-Thomas Wold to take a 1-0 lead after three innings complete.
  • Aiming to battle back, the Tigers responded with two runs on three hits in the top of the fifth, which included an RBI single from senior outfielder Luke Price. After the fifth, Pacific held a 2-1 advantage over the Rebels.
  • Shortly thereafter, UNLV evened the contest at two with another RBI single in the home half of the sixth, this time from shortstop Jordan Andrade. One inning later, catcher Eric Biagini lined an infield single to plate another Rebel base runner and give UNLV a one run lead, 3-2, through seven innings.
  • Locking down the Tigers in their final two plate appearances, the Rebel bullpen did not allow Pacific to score again in the contest as Ty Pohlmann denied the UOP attack in the ninth to notch his first save of the season and secure the victory for the Rebels, 3-2.
 
NOTABLE PERFORMANCES:
  • For Pearce, Friday's outing tied his career-high with 7.0 innings pitched as the right hander tallied seven complete innings for the first time since Feb. 16, 2020 against California Baptist.
  • Pushing for double digits, both Alex LeForestier (9) and Thomas Gavello (8) extended their reached base streaks with hits on Friday. Additionally, Gavello now has a five-game hitting streak while seniors Wyatt Hoffman and Joe Fitzhugh trail the sophomore with four straight games with a hit.
  • Coming on in relief, senior Hunter Schilperoort logged his first scoreless appearance since Mar. 7 on Friday, going 1.0 inning with one strikeout and one hit allowed for the Tigers.
 
UP NEXT:
Game three of the series is set for tomorrow, Saturday, Apr. 10 at 11:05 am PST. For Pacific, senior right hander Henrik Reinertsen is scheduled to make his sixth start of the season while UNLV will oppose with right hander Noah Beal.
