After a disappointing doubleheader yesterday on what was their second Bay Area road trip of the young season, Nevada baseball bounced back on Sunday afternoon in a big way.  The Pack clubbed 10 runs, with senior Shaun Kort leading the way with 5 RBI’s, to take the finale against Pacific 10-3.

Kort’s first-inning blast over the right field wall gave Nevada a lead that senior lefty Chris Garcia would not relinquish, pushing the Pack’s record to 4-3 overall on the young 2010 season. Garcia, a native of Sparks, went 7 strong innings, striking out 7 and walking no one in a very impressive outing.  A solid 6-foot-3, 200-pound prospect, Garcia gave up just 1 earned run and 5 hits to pick up his first win of the season.

Nevada had four hitters, including Kort, rack up three-hit games.  Senior CF Westley Moss, who made a terrific play in the field in the first after relaying a sure double by Pacific catcher Joe Oliveira into an out at third base, plus junior third baseman Nick Leid and freshman Ronnie Mitchell II all popped in a trio of hits for the Pack.  Leid homered in the contest as well, his first of the year.
