Â
Nevada 13, UC Riverside 0
The Wolf Pack attacked the Highlanders immediately, playing small ball in the first inning to score four runs. Back-to-back
Madison Clark and
Bailie Clark bunt singles, along with M. Clark's first stolen base of the day gave Nevada first and third with no outs. B. Clark stole second to draw a throw from UC Riverside, allowing M. Clark to score with her second stolen base.
Â
Aaliyah Jenkins walked to keep the first inning rally going. A deep
Hannah Di Genova fly ball then allowed B. Clark to score on a sacrifice fly. The second double steal of the inning scored Jenkins and advanced
Haley Painter to second base.
Tatum Maytorena wrapped up the first inning scoring with a single down the right field line, scoring Painter.
Â
In the fourth inning, M. Clark led off with a single to right field. M. Clark stole second base to get into scoring position, her third steal of the game. Jenkins doubled immediately after to score M. Clark. Jenkins stole third base and scored off an errant throw down from the UC Riverside catcher.
Â
Nevada's offense erupted once again in the fifth inning to push the Pack over the run-rule line. Maytorena led off the inning, reaching on an error. Maytorena stole second, the team's 10
th stolen base of the game.
Saige Alfaro legged out her first triple with Nevada, scoring Maytorena and
Maya Larsen.
Â
M. Clark reached base on an error by the Highlander third baseman. M. Clark stole second, her fourth of the game, tying the Nevada individual single-game record for stolen bases in a game.
Chelie Senini accomplished the feat twice, making M. Clark's feat the third of its kind in Pack history. M. Clark's stolen base was the 11
th of the game for Nevada, the most in program history.
Â
Di Genova recorded her second RBI of the game with a bases-loaded hit by pitch. Painter doubled to right field, scoring the Clark sisters and setting up
Haylee Engelbrecht for a RBI single to score Di Genova. Maytorena once again wrapped up the scoring, doubling up the middle to score Painter.
Â
Jessica McPartland got her second career win by pitching three shutout innings for Nevada. Facing 12 batters, McPartland struck out three while only allowing three singles.
Ainsley Berlingeri relieved McPartland and recorded six strikeouts in her two innings. Neither Wolf Pack pitcher walked a batter, marking the second walk-less game of the season for the Nevada staff.
Â
Hawai'i 0, Nevada 4
Nevada's second game featured high highs and low lows from the defense. McLean struck out 15 batters, tying the Nevada single-game seven-inning record. Despite her record setting night, McLean took her first loss of the season.
Â
Neither offense got anything going through the first three innings. McLean recorded nine straight strikeouts and made each of the first 11 putouts with strikeouts.
Â
The Wolf Pack hit three straight singles in the second inning but couldn't score off of the hits.
Â
The Rainbow Wahine started the scoring in the fourth inning. A pair of hit by pitches and an errant throw on a fielder's choice loaded the bases. Hawai'i doubled, clearing the bases and giving themselves a lead they would not lose.
Â
Nevada's woes continued with three consecutive three-up three-down innings, despite recording hits in two of the innings. A double that saw Painter get thrown out stretching to a triple and a caught stealing nullified both Pack runners in late innings.
Â
Hawai'i added a fourth run in the seventh inning thanks to two Nevada errors. A single plus a fielding error allowed the Rainbow Wahine to get a runner into scoring position. A flyout to right field then allowed the runner to advance to third, however, the throw from right field ended up out of play, granting the runner home plate and the run.
Â
Nevada's six errors were the most by the Wolf Pack in a game since March 6, 2022.
Â
The Wolf Pack are 2-2 at the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic heading into the final day of the tournament for Nevada. The Pack will take on CSUN at noon on Saturday at the Pawtucket field of Cathedral City's Big League Dreams.
