LAST TIME OUT
Nevada enters this weekend's series in San Jose on a four-game winning streak after taking the final three of its four-game set against Air Force, then beating Saint Mary's, 13-3, Tuesday.

The Pack bounced back from a 10-3 loss in the opener Thursday against Air Force, taking game two, 14-12. After a 14-7 win in Saturday's third game, the Pack took the series on Casey Burfield's gem in a 4-1 victory.

ABOUT SAN JOSÉ STATE
San José State (19-18, 9-9 MW) got back in the win column Tuesday night with a 5-4 win over Santa Clara. The win stopped a three-game slide during which the Spartans were swept at UNLV.

This weekend's series will be the second of the season between the two teams. Nevada swept San José State at Peccole Park from March 11-13, capping it with a 15-10 win.

The series is a pivotal one in regards to maintaining top-four positions, and a place at the Mountain West Tournament Memorial Day Weekend. San José State, at 9-9 in conference play, is one game ahead of Air Force in the loss column for the fourth and final spot.

FLORES, WALTY EARN MOUNTAIN WEST WEEKLY HONORS
Nevada's 3-1 series win over Air Force featured numerous top performances, and outfielder Anthony Flores and pitcher Cam Walty were singled out by the Mountain West for theirs. Flores was named Mountain West Player of the Week, the Pack's second-straight time taking the honor, while Walty claimed Mountain West Pitcher of the Week.

Flores earned his recognition by batting .625 (10-for-16) over the series, driving in seven runs with three doubles, a triple, and a home run. Walty picked up his honor after a strong starting performance in Saturday's 14-7 win, going eight innings, striking out seven, and allowing just three runs on four hits. Walty also held the Falcons hitless over the first four innings as Nevada built an 8-0 lead.

PACK PITCHERS DO SOME FLEXING
Nevada's starting pitching has put together three-straight strong outings heading into this weekend's series at San José State.

Cam Walty started the run Saturday against Air Force, holding the Falcons hitless over the first four innings, and ending up with seven strikeouts in an eight-inning outing in which he allowed three runs on just four hits.

Sunday, Casey Burfield cruised, going seven innings and scattering seven hits while allowing just one run in Nevada's 4-1 victory. Tuesday against Saint Mary's, Jacob Biesterfeld allowed no hits and struck out five Gaels over three innings of work.
