How To Watch: Western Michigan Broncos @ UNLV Hustlin' Rebels: Tuesday, February 24

Game Preview

The UNLV Hustlin' Rebels baseball team is coming off an impressive three-game weekend sweep of the Bradley Braves. They are now riding a three-game winning streak and sitting at 5 - 2 on the season. UNLV is coming off a 20 - 9 win and outscored the Braves 45 - 23, scoring at least 12 runs in every game. Following the sweep, UNLV head coach Stan Stolte spoke about where his team is at after the weekend.

"Great weekend from an offensive standpoint, saw a lot of pitches, had some big hits in numerous RBI situations, ran the bases aggressively and intelligently all weekend," Stolte said. "We pitched well enough to win, but need to clean up controlling the running game. Bradley did a good job of exposing that."

Next up for the Rebels are the Western Michigan Broncos. They will start a two-game series at Earl E. Wilson Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Tuesday night. Western Michigan is currently sitting at 2 - 4, and coming off a win over the UC San Diego Tritons.
