UNLV roundup: Baseball team rallies past Grand Canyon

Bryson Stott scored from second base on a ninth-inning throwing error, lifting UNLV to a 5-4 win over Grand Canyon in a nonconference baseball game Wednesday at Wilson Stadium.

Stott had a single in each of the three run-scoring innings by the Rebels (9-9), who won for the third time in four games.

Stott led off the ninth with a single and was sacrificed to second by Payton Squier. After Nick Ames was intentionally walked, Ernie De La Trinidad hit a ground ball to second baseman Greg Saenz, whose errant throw to second allowed Stott to score.

Ames went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer in the fifth, and De La Trinidad hit a two-out RBI single in the third for UNLV, which had an 11-8 edge in hits.

Blaze Bohall (1-2), the third Rebels pitcher, tossed 2 1/3 perfect innings with three strikeouts.

Garrison Schwartz and Tyler Wyatt each hit a solo home run for the Antelopes (5-9).

At Fertitta Tennis Complex, En-Pei Huang and Paola Artiga each posted a singles victory and were part of a victorious doubles team for UNLV (10-5), which posted a 4-0 triumph over Washington State (9-6) for its third straight win.

No. 37-ranked Carol Yang won in straight sets for the Rebels. Huang teamed with Aiwen Zhu, and Artiga teamed with Anna Bogoslavets for doubles victories.
