A shanked Lowry punt in the second quarter gave Fernley good field position on the Buckaroos 40-yard line. Four plays later, the sophomore quarterback zipped an 11-yard pass to Marcus Gonzales to give the Vaqueros a 12-0 lead. Baker took the ball himself for the 2-point conversion.
The defense also scored a touchdown.
