MORAGA, Calif. - Four solo home runs, combined with an excellent combined pitching effort, carried Nevada to a 5-1 win at Saint Mary's to close the team's eight-game road stretch.

Alejandro Murillo improved to 3-2 on the season, tossing four shutout innings while allowing just two hits and striking out one. Five Pack pitchers combined to hold the Gaels to just one run on three hits the rest of the way, highlighted by a pair of strikeouts each from Jacob Biesterfeld and Tyler Cochran.

Pat Caulfield got the Pack (23-20) scoring started with a sacrifice fly in the top of the fifth, making Murillo the pitcher of record. The Pack made it 3-0 in the sixth on back-to-back solo shots from Matt Clayton and Anthony Flores, then went back-to-back again in the seventh, this time Joshua Zamora and Landon Wallace doing the deeds to up the lead to 5-0. For Zamora, the round-tripper was his team-leading 11th of the season.

Coleman Schmidt provided the only Saint Mary's run of the day on a solo homer in the seventh.

Clayton, going 2-for-3, was one of two Pack players with a multi-hith game, joining Michael Ball, who went 2-for-4.

Preston Howey fell to 0-2 for Saint Mary's (22-23), taking the loss after giving up Caulfield's sacrifice fly.
