The University of New Mexico baseball team has experienced lofty highs and ignominious lows during coach Tod Brown’s initial season as coach.
Tuesday’s home win over nationally ranked Texas Tech was an example of the former. The weekend series beginning Friday at Mountain West Conference foe UNLV is a stark reminder of the latter.
The sixth-place Lobos (15-21, 6-12) had a crack at the league leaders in Albuquerque to begin the month, the results were nothing short of brutal. UNLV (26-12, 15-3) won 18-3, 12-4 and, on Sunday, 27-6.
The Lobos have gone 3-5 since, the most recent outing an uplifting 11-10 home win Tuesday over No.
