The University of Nevada's baseball game against  UNLV scheduled for today at Peccole Park has been cancelled due to rain, snow and high winds in the area. 
At this time the game has not been rescheduled but may if both teams are able to find an open date during the remainder of the season.

The peaks and valleys of a season can take its toll on any team, so Western Nevada College baseball coach D.J. Whittemore is trying to make sure that his club doesn't become too high or too low.
Whittemore said he has told his team "not to ride the roller coaster." But Whittemore admitted his mood has improved after a four-game sweep of then first place Salt Lake Community College this past weekend in the Scenic West Athletic Conference. "Yeah, I'm feeling a lot better," Whittemore said.

Carson City fire investigators have not yet determined what started a fire late this morning that nearly destroyed a building that housed a mattress supply business and a hair salon.

The investigation shows the fire began at around 11:45 this morning on the east exterior of the building, said Carson City Fire Chief Stacey Giomi. The two businesses, Mattress King and High Desert Hair, won't be able to operate anytime soon, Giomi said.

Here is some more raw video footage from the fire at 445 Fairview today.

Firefighters assigned to a structure fire at the Mattress King building on Fairview Drive in Carson City, apparently had problems with a water hydrant at the corner of Idaho and Industrial streets.

Multiple firefighters are battling a blaze at 445 Fairview, the home of Mattress King and High Desert Hair in Carson City.
