Good To Be Home

The UNLV Hustlin Rebels baseball team snapped a six game loosing streak last night as they defeated Cal State Northridge 10-3.

This was the Rebels first game at home in two weeks and they showed the home crowd that they were glad to be back. This is the final home stand of the 2008 season for the Rebels concluding with senior day on Sunday May 11th against the league leading New Mexico Lobos.

The Rebels beat Cal State behind starting pitcher Matt Hutchinson who threw five good innings allowing only tow runs in the first inning. Steve Rinsudo and Patrick Darrow combined to throw the final four innings giving up just one run on four hits.

All the bats came alive for the Rebels with first base man Xavier Scruggs leading the way with a two run home run in a 14 hit sixth inning. Scruggs finished the game with a three runs scored, a walk and a hit by pitch.

The Rebels play again today May 7th at 1 O’clock at Earl E. Wilson Stadium against Cal State Northridge.
