Brody Russell’s two-out RBI single in the ninth inning lifted Fresno State to a 4-3 win over UNLV in a Mountain West baseball game Sunday in Fresno, California.
McCarthy Tatum led off the bottom of the ninth with a single off Rebels reliever Ryan Hare (1-1), was sacrificed to second and, one out later, scored on Russell’s hit up the middle as the Bulldogs (13-7, 4-2) won the final two games of the three-game set.
Russell also had an RBI double in the third and finished 3-for-5. Zach Ashford went 3-for-3 with an RBI single in the fourth and scored twice for Fresno State, which held a 10-9 edge in hits.
