UNLV Softball overcomes New Mexico’s fast start
UNLV’s pitching reliefs lead the way to a 4-2 victory over the New Mexico Lobos on Saturday in day two of a three-game series.
The Rebels hosted New Mexico at Eller Media Softball Field for a Mountain West Conference showdown.
The starting pitcher, freshman Charlie Masterson, struggled to get an out in the first inning and gave up two runs on five hits before coming out of the game.
Breana Burke, another freshman and Masterson’s relief, came to the circle with the bases loaded. Burke dug the Rebels out of the bases loaded jam and went five shutout innings before handing the ball to Morgan Ettinger for a six out save to end the game.
