For just the second time all season, the Lobos dropped a conference series and are now at risk of losing a share of the Mountain West crown.
Even with a loss at UNLV on Sunday afternoon, the Fresno State Bulldogs will at least own part of the conference title, while UNM must fight for at least a piece of first after falling to Nevada 13-9 on Sunday.
New Mexico Sunday starter Carson Schneider had yet another rough outing on the hill, his third in a row. The junior couldn’t make it out of the fourth inning, allowing 10 runs (8 earned), on 10 hits, a pair of walks while throwing 85 pitches.
