Aztec Baseball took a weekend road trip to Reno, Nevada to take on the preseason conference favorites in the Nevada Wolfpack with hopes of securing their first conference win.
While they were successful in securing their first conference win on Friday, they were unable to secure the series after losing both Saturday and Sunday’s contests.
Game 1
Junior right-handed pitcher Troy Melton took the mound as Friday’s starter with the full intention of shutting the Wolfpack down and he did just that with a 13-1 victory.
The scoring frenzy began in the top of the second with a double from junior Brian Leonhardt to bring redshirt-sophomore Xavier Carter home.
