Jake Stone had a two-run homer and a two-run triple to back Ricky Tyler Thomas’ strong pitching and lead Fresno State to a 9-1 win over UNLV in a Mountain West baseball game Friday at Wilson Stadium.
Stone’s two-run triple was one of four straight hits in a five-run fifth inning by the Bulldogs (34-17, 20-8), the final of which was a two-run homer by Aaron Arruda, who also had an RBI single in the ninth.
Thomas (8-4), a sophomore left-hander, shut out the Rebels (22-27, 12-13) on seven hits and two walks and struck out seven over seven innings as Fresno State won its fourth straight and eighth in nine games.
