The Hornets took the lead for good with a three-run fifth inning. LeVier, again, doubled to start the inning and scored on a Fuller single to right. Brown then cleared the bases with a homer to left. The team scored its final run of the game in the eighth inning on a lead-off home run by Reimer.

Nevada began its comeback in the seventh inning with a single run coming on a bases-loaded walk. After a brief delay in the game due to snow, the Wolf Pack made the score, 8-7, when Jacob Butler singled to left scoring a run.

Senior Jeff Groeger earned his first career save by retiring Nevada in order in the ninth.

Freshman Warren Rosebrock improved to 1-0 with the win. Rosebrock threw 3.0 innings and allowed one earned run.

The Hornet offense was paced by Reimer, LeVier, Kinsey, Fuller and Pedro Santiago with two hits apiece.

Nevada was led by Tony Cappuccilli who went 3-for-3.
