New Mexico’s offense again stole the show in the opening game against UNLV in a 15-3 blowout on Friday night and climbed to the top of the conference in the process.
UNM’s lefty starter Carson Schneider didn’t need all the fuel the offense showcased, but the junior wasn’t fazed by several long innings throughout the course of the contest. Schneider improved to 5-1 on the year dropping his ERA to a respectable 3.37.
The Rebels were able to take an early lead with a one-run top of the first. However, their lead was short-lived as Chris DeVito continued swinging a red-hot stick with an RBI single in the bottom of the inning.
