UNLV roundup: Baseball rallies to stun No. 9 Arizona State
Bryson Stott walked with the bases loaded to cap a six-run ninth-inning rally and give the UNLV baseball team a 10-9 victory over No. 9 Arizona State on Tuesday at Wilson Stadium.
The Rebels (20-15) trailed 9-4 after the Sun Devils (26-5) gained some breathing room with four runs in the eighth inning.
Stott, Dillon Johnson and Max Smith walked to open the bottom of the ninth. A balk from a new pitcher allowed Stott to score. After another walk, Austin Pfeifer, Chase Hanson and Grant Robbins hit consecutive RBI singles to cut the deficit to 9-8.
A wild pitch allowed Pfeifer to score the tying run. After James Gamble walked to reload the bases, Stott drew a walk on a full count to give the Rebels the win.
