The Rebels got the two runs back in the top of the fourth on a single and a sac-fly.
In the home half of the fifth, the Highlanders struck for four runs. David Whittle doubled off the centerfield wall scoring Jacob Badawi and Landon Nunes. Then Boardman singled up the middle scoring Isaiah Hernandez and Whittle making it 6-2.Â
UCR was in cruise control until the ninth when UNLV came up with some clutch hits and scored on a passed ball.Â
