RENO, Nev. - Nevada brought the bats to Peccole Park Friday, blasting six home runs and scoring 27 runs over a doubleheader sweep of first-place San Diego State.

The Pack (14-16, 11-9 MW) ended both contests early via the 10-run mercy rule to stretch its season-best winning streak to four. Nevada defeated the Aztecs (22-11, 14-9 MW) 14-4, in eight innings in the opener, then closed the day with a 13-2 win in seven.

The Pack, which clinched the season series over the Aztecs with Friday's wins, will go for its first series sweep of 2021 in Saturday's 1 p.m. series finale. 

Joshua Zamora doubled his home run account on the season Saturday, hitting three, including the walk-off in the opener, to bring his total to six. Zamora finished the day 5-for-8 with six RBIs to pace the Pack, while Jacob Stinson had a team-high six hits with five RBIs.

Jake Jackson went the distance in the nightcap, striking out two while scattering six hits. His performance highlighted a solid day on the hill for Pack pitchers, as three Nevada hurlers combined to hold an Aztec offense which entered the day averaging nearly nine runs a game in Mountain West play to just six over two games.

Game 1: Nevada 14, San Diego State 4 (8)
The Wolf Pack jumped all over San Diego State starter Troy Melton, scoring eight runs over the first three innings then cruising to a 14-4, mercy-rule win in eight innings.

Tyler Bosetti came up just a double shy of hitting for the cycle, and Joshua Zamora hit two home runs to pace five Nevada players posting a three-hit game. Each of the Pack's first four hitters in the lineup finished with three hits, with the 2-3-4 order of Joshua Zamora, Dario Gomez, and Dillan Shrum combining for seven RBI.

Gomez got the scoring started by knocking in Bosetti with a single through the left side in the first, and Landon Wallace delivered the big blow, a two-run double down the right-field line to highlight a four-run frame.

The Pack continued the assault in the second, loading the bases with none out to set up another RBI single from Gomez and a two-run double down the line in left from Shrum to go up 7-1. Bosetti added the eighth run an inning later with a solo shot to left-center, his fourth of the season.

Nevada added a run in both the fifth and seventh innings, the latter coming on Zamora's fourth homer of the season, before sewing things up in the eighth. There, back-to-back doubles from Wallace and Jacob Stinson, who finished the game 3-for-5, made it 11-4. Pete Mendazona drove in Stinson with a single, and Marco Valenzuela reached on an error to put two on with none out.

Two batters later, following a double play, Zamora slammed his second home run of the game, walking it off deep to left.

Shane Gustafson picked up his second win of the season, giving up just a run and striking out six Aztecs over the final five and two-thirds innings in relief of starter Alejandro Murrillo. Murrillo struck out four and gave up three runs in two and one-third innings.

Brian Leonhardt led the Aztecs with two runs batted in while going 2-for-3.

Game 2: Nevada 13, San Diego State 2 (7)
A 10-run Nevada fifth broke open a 2-0 game as the Pack cruised to the 13-2 win in seven innings.

Zamora opened the floodgates with a one-out, three-run homer to left-center to give the Pack the 5-0 lead. Nevada quickly loaded the bases on Gomez' double followed by a pair of walks to Shrum and Matt Clayton, which led to Stinson's two-out, bases-clearing double to up the cushion to 8-0.

Mendazona doubled to right-center for his second hit of the frame, and, after Anthony Flores was hit by a pitch, Bosetti roped his second home run of the day, a towering shot to left-center to make it 12-0.

The Pack added a sixth-inning run on Wallace's sacrifice fly, and Jake Jackson, despite giving up two runs to spoil the shutout bid, finished off the Aztecs in the top of the seventh for his second win of the year.

Zamora, Bosetti, and Stinson knocked in three runs apiece in the win, with Stinson supplementing Zamora's homer with a pair of doubles.

Mike Jarvis went 3-for-3 to lead San Diego State in the contest. Brian Leonhardt took the loss, going the first two innings and surrendering only Clayton's solo shot in the second, before Michael Paredes took over to start the third. Paredes was tagged for 10 runs on seven hits in just two and two-thirds innings of work.
