Kerrigan stands out as Rebels beat SU, Hawaii

Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2003 | 9:54 a.m.

Jackie Kerrigan tossed a four-hit shutout, her third of the season, to lead the UNLV softball team to a 1-0 victory over Southern Utah at Eller Media Stadium on Monday.

The Rebels (5-10) produced only one hit offensively and didn't need it to score the winning run. It was a leadoff walk in the fourth that set up the game's only run. Carrie Bayless drew the walk, rounded first and cruised into second against a napping T-Bird defense. Bayless stole third on the next pitch and came into score on a ground ball by Morgan Bostwick.

Kerrigan nearly blanked her second opponent of the day and came away with a 5-2 victory over Hawaii. Kerrigan had allowed just four hits and no runs through five innings, and the Rebels (6-10) scored four times in the third for a comfortable lead.
