Immaculate pitching following the first inning has awarded UNM the Rio Grande for the 2016 campaign.
It wasn’t without a fight, and by no means a blowout, but blanketing NMSU in a 3-2 victory on Tuesday night has awarded New Mexico the Rio Grande Rivalry, after winning three of the four meetings.
Things started a tad gloomy for starting pitcher Luis Gonzalez in Las Cruces, New Mexico in the final matchup with the Aggies. The utility lefty, UNM’s typical every day starter in centerfield, allowed a homer to the first and third batter he faced.
After that, the Lobo pitching staff was lights out.
