The Rebels dropped the series opener in front of a record 3,173 fans 2-0, but bounced back to defeat the Huskers 5-3 on Saturday and then recorded a shut out with a 3-0 win on Sunday. It was the first series win over a ranked team since 2013 when the Rebels swept No. 9 Stanford. It was also the first time since the Rebels joined the Mountain West that they shut out a ranked team. This week, UNLV will play Grand Canyon on Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. PT. The game will be televised on Cox Sports Television with Barry Buetel handling the play-by-play duties, former major league player Steve Lyons as the analyst and Kyrda de St. Aubin will serve as the on-field reporter. Last weekend the Rebels were led by their dominant pitching. After losing Friday night starter, Zak Qualls, after only five pitches, junior college transfer Ben Wright made his first collegiate appearance and allowed only one run on five hits in 5.0 innings of work. Bryan Bonnell also pitched well in relief, striking out four in 3.2 innings of work while allowing no runs on two hits. On Saturday, Kenny Oakley made the start for the Rebels and he allowed two runs, one of which was earned, on six hits and stuck out six in 6.0 innings of work. He did not factor into the decision as senior Joey Lauria picked up the win after tossing the final 3.0 innings allowing one run on one hit (a home run) and he recorded three strikeouts. Arguably the outing from the mound came on Sunday as sophomore transfer D.J. Myers allowed only three hits in 7.2 innings of work while striking out five and walking only one. Relievers Zack Hartman and Brayden Torres made relief appearances to help solidify the shut out. From the plate, UNLV was led by freshman Payton Squier, who finished 5-for-9 (.556) with two RBI and a run scored. Classmate Nick Rodriguez also hit well in his weekend debut, finishing 4-for-11 with a triple, RBI and a two runs scored. Senior Edgar Montes finished 4-for-10 and recorded two doubles on the weekend. SCOUTING THE ANTELOPES Grand Canyon comes into the midweek game against UNLV on a three-game winning streak. The Antelopes made easy work of their opposition in the opening weekend, defeating North Dakota State 6-3 on Friday, Omaha 8-1 on Saturday and Bradley 30-7 on Sunday in the Grand Canyon University Classic. The ‘Lopes were led by Humberto Aranda, who finished 7-for-11 in three games with five RBI. He also has two doubles and a triple and scored five runs. Chad De La Guerra went 7-for-13 with three home runs and 12 RBI and was named the Western Athletic Conference hitter of the week. David Walker also hit .500, finishing 4-for-8 and he scored seven runs. Grand Canyon will send sophomore left-handed pitcher Zebastian Valenzuela to the hill. He has made one appearance for the ‘Lopes this season, pitching in relief against Omaha. He struck out two and walked two in 1.0 inning of work.

The locals represent 10 different high schools: Bishop Gorman (4), Coronado (3), Legacy (2), Arbor View, Centennial, Cimarron-Memorial, Rancho, Silverado, Liberty and Foothill. There are 17 total Nevadans on this year’s squad and the next highest state represented is California, with nine. Arizona has four players represented and Colorado has two while Oklahoma, Texas and Utah each have one player each on the roster. A SOUTHERN NV SPORTS HALL OF FAMER UNLV baseball head coach Tim Chambers entered the Southern Nevada Sports Hall of Fame as a part of the 2014 class, which was inducted on May 30 at the Orleans Arena. Chambers, who has been the skipper of UNLV baseball since 2010, has coached in Las Vegas for more than 25 years at the high school level, junior college level and now at the Division I college level. Chambers got his start in coaching at Bishop Gorman High School in 1991 and coached the Gaels for nine seasons. He helped Bishop Gorman reach the playoff for the first time in nearly four decades and won six straight Sunset championships. He also coached the Las Vegas Knights to the American Legion World Series. He then started the baseball program at the College of Southern Nevada in 1999, which was the state’s first junior college athletic team, and led CSN to a national championship in 2003. In his last season with the Coyotes in 2010, he led CSN to another Junior College World Series appearance and coached Bryce Harper who went on to be the No. 1 overall pick in the Major League Baseball draft. Since taking over the UNLV program in 2010, Chambers became the fastest Rebel coach to reach 100 wins, doing it in 176 games. Joining Chambers in the 2014 class was former UNLV golfer Chris Riley, motocross star Carey Hart, drag racing team owner Ken Black and the Herbst family. CLOSING TIME The Rebels come into the 2015 season with two of the best closers in school history on the roster. Juniors Zack Hartman and Brayden Torres have 27 combined career saves. Hartman, who was the team’s primary closer in 2011 and 2012, needs only one save to have the most career saves in school history at 17. He missed the 2013 and 2014 seasons due to injury. In his first outing of the year, he earned a Hold against Nebraska. Torres collected nine saves in 2014, which tied a school record for the most saves in a season. In his first outing of 2015, he collected a save against Nebraska. He needs two saves to crack the school’s top-five list.
