Joseph Stefanki hit a go-ahead three-run triple in the fifth inning Sunday to rally host San Jose State to a 9-5 win over UNLV in a Mountain West baseball game.
Down 5-0 after the first, the Spartans (5-5, 2-1) scored three in the fourth, two on a home run by Shane Timmons, before Stefanki’s key hit.
Ernie De La Trinidad hit a three-run homer in the five-run first by the Rebels (5-7, 1-2) that chased starter Graham Gomez.
Five San Jose State relievers then teamed to blank UNLV on three hits and two walks over the next 8 1/3 innings, with six strikeouts.
