D.J. Myers pitched eight shutout innings to outduel Air Force ace Griffin Jax and lead UNLV to a 1-0 victory in a Mountain West baseball game Friday at Wilson Stadium.
Justin Jones’ leadoff home run in the second inning was all the offense needed by Myers (3-1), a junior right-hander, who allowed four singles and two walks and struck out six, throwing 75 of his 102 pitches for strikes.
Jax (6-2), who entered with a 1.66 ERA, also went eight innings and gave up the one run on eight hits and no walks and struck out six.
