New Mexico didn’t get off to the start it wanted on Tuesday, and paid the price despite assembling a late rally.
In the bottom of the third, UNM (6-5) found itself in a 7-0 hole to start, something the potent offense could never quite recover from as the squad fell to NMSU 9-6. The contest was played on a neutral site in El Paso, Texas.
James Harrington, the sophomore right-hander was only dubbed with four of those seven runs, as the Lobo defense was subpar to start off the contest, committing two errors on the night.
UNM’s offense didn’t quit, a typical trait for the squad, as the Lobos jumped right back into the thick of things, plating four runs in the fourth inning and another in the sixth.
