RENO, Nev. (March 29, 2025) – Washington State dropped a 9-1 Mountain West Conference matchup at Nevada Saturday afternoon.

The Cougars received two-hit games from Luke Thiele, Ryan Skjonsby and Will Cresswell as Skjonsby hit a solo homer. Reno native Jack Weise started in left field and doubled to right-centerfield.

Nevada broke a fourth-inning tie game with a three in the fourth, two in the fifth and two more in the sixth to clinch the series. The Wolfpack collected 11 hits while the Cougars tallied eight hits but left seven on base.

In the fourth, Nevada hit a two-run home run and added a two-out RBI-single later in the inning before hitting a two-run homer in the fifth and scored twice more after three walks and an error in the sixth. The Wolfpack capped the scoring with a solo homer to lead off the seventh.
