Fresno State has not enjoyed much success in Albuquerque.
The Bulldogs are now just 1-14 when playing UNM on its home turf following Sunday’s 7-4 loss to the Lobos.
“Fresno hates to come here,” head coach Ray Birmingham said.
Whether it was because of the altitude or UNM’s potent lineup, Fresno State’s pitching had a rough time against the Lobos. Before coming to Santa Ana Star field, Fresno State’s rotation lead the Mountain West in ERA, allowing just 2.9 runs per contest. The Lobos averaged 7.6 runs over the three-game series.
“You’ve always got to be patient with these guys,” Lobos starting pitcher Colton Thomson said about UNM’s lineup.
