HENDERSON, Nev. (March 31, 2019) – A Sunday matinee saw two nationally-ranked Scenic West powers battle through a doubleheader yet again.
 
Sunday's matchup between the No. 3 College of Southern Nevada baseball team and the No. 17 Salt Lake Community College Bruins ended with Salt Lake grabbing both games, taking control of the Scenic West Athletic Conference's top spot. Salt Lake won the day's first game 4-2 before claiming a 6-1 win in the second game. The sweep dropped Southern Nevada's overall record to 28-7 and 11-3 in league play.
 
The Coyotes will play a four-game series against the College of Southern Idaho in Twin Falls next weekend. The teams will play doubleheaders on Friday and Saturday.
 
Salt Lake 4, Southern Nevada 2: An early Southern Nevada lead was trumped by a dominant inning by SLCC.
 
A Steven Rivas home run in the second inning gave CSN an early 1-0 lead, a lead that would last until Salt Lake posted four runs in the third inning to take a 4-1 lead. While the Coyotes would post a run in the sixth inning, it proved to be too little as the Bruins closed out the victory.
 
Southern Nevada posted 10 hits in the loss, including a 2-of-3 performance by Rivas and Jack Pineda's 2-of-4 finish at the plate. Johnny Cuevas started the game for Southern Nevada, surrendering 4 earned runs in 4.1 innings. 
 
Salt Lake 6, Southern Nevada 1: A late rally pushed Salt Lake to the doubleheader sweep.
 
The Bruins took an early lead before Southern Nevada tied the score at 1-1 in the fifth inning on a Matt Wong sacrifice-fly RBI. However, SLCC responded by taking a lead and then scoring two runs in the sixth inning to take control.
 
Buddy Pindel started for Southern Nevada, throwing five innings of four-hit ball while allowing just one run. Pindel also struck out five batters.
 
Offensively, Jack Pineda finished the game 2-of-3 at the plate. Roger Riley went 1-of-3. Southern Nevada finished with just 4 four hits in the game as Salt Lake's pitching controlled the plate.
