RENO, Nev. - With the game tied 6-6 in the extra innings, Nevada's series finale against San Diego State was suspended due to a travel curfew on Sunday at Peccole Park. The game will be completed when the Wolf Pack travels to San Diego State for a three-game series on April 29-May 1 in San Diego.
Nevada overcame a five-run deficit to force extra innings after scoring two runs in the bottom of the ninth. The Wolf Pack (13-12, 6-4) was going for the series sweep after winning 6-5 on Friday and 3-2 on Saturday. Nevada is currently riding a six-game win streak.
After both starting pitchers - Nevada's Trenton Brooks and SDSU's Cody Thompson - kept the game in a stalemate through four innings, the Aztecs jumped out to a 5-0 lead with four runs in the fifth and one in the sixth.
The Wolf Pack rallied with three runs in its half of the sixth. With one out and the bases loaded, sophomore Jordan Pearce singled up the middle to drive in Nevada's first run. Sophomore Grant Fennell then hit an infield grounder before a throwing error allowed sophomores TJ Friedl and Cole Krzmarzick to score on the play.
Nevada made it a one-run game in the bottom seventh. Junior Justin Bridgman singled through the left side and Brooks followed with an RBI double off the left field will, scoring Bridgman to make it 5-4. The Aztecs added one run in the eighth frame to take a two-run lead into the ninth.
The Pack loaded the bases on one out before an Aztec throwing error proved costly. Pearce grounded up the middle and SDSU attempted to turn a game-ending double play, but the throw to first sailed high and allowed Greager and Friedl to score and force extra innings.
The game was suspended in the top of the 10th inning as Nevada has two outs with one San Diego State runner at second base.
Brooks (3-5), junior Miles Mastrobuoni (2-5) and Krzmarzick (2-3) led Nevada at the plate while the Wolf Pack scored six runs - three of them unearned - on 12 hits. Nevada has used seven pitchers in the contest.
Nevada returns to action Tuesday, hosting Saint Mary's (15-9) in the final game of a home-and-home series. First pitch is set for noon PT at Peccole Park. Later that day, the Wolf Pack will play its annual exhibition with the Reno Aces at 6 p.m. at Aces Ballpark.
