No, it wasn't a football game, but you wouldn’t know it from the score. After UNM snatched a 16-5 win on Tuesday evening, No. 6 Texas Tech countered with a win that reflected an eerily similar football score, 27-15, on Wednesday afternoon, to split the two-game series.
UNM head coach Ray Birmingham realized things didn't go the “Lobo way” and offered up something of a philosophical metaphor.
“Sometimes you're the windshield and sometimes you're the bug,” Birmingham said in a press release. “That's just the way it goes sometimes.”
Bats were swinging – on both sides – and pitching was less than relevant.
