New Mexico was able to salvage a Game 1 loss by taking the next two along with the series against San Jose State last weekend in California.
Though the 10-3 scoreboard in the rubber match of the three-game stand indicated a blowout, the Lobo offense didn’t really get going until the late stages of Sunday afternoon’s ballgame.
UNM ace Colton Thomson worked through eight innings on the day, allowing three runs - two earned - on 11 hits, while fanning three Spartans in 102 pitches.
The lefty was surely wondering when the Lobo offense would put together a big frame, but after six innings, his team still trailed 3-2.
