RENO, Nev. – University of Nevada (14-8, 8-2 MW) sophomore Dillan Shrum's single in the bottom of the ninth inning gave the Wolf Pack a 5-4 Governor's Series and Mountain West walk-off victory over UNLV (21-6, 6-4 MW) at Don Weir Field at Peccole Park on Friday night.

With the game tied at four heading to the bottom ninth inning Nevada scored a run to take the first game of the series.
