FIRST PITCH
A huge weekend awaits the `University of New Mexico baseball team as they are on the road at UNLV for a three-game set. Both the Lobos and Rebels will enter the weekend tied for fourth in the Mountain West at 4-5 in league play The Lobos are also looking to get back moving in a positive direction as they dropped eight of their last 10. In the other dugout, the Rebels are 16-11 overall and have won five of six.
A year ago, the Lobos and Rebels met for just one series. UNM took the first two games to claim the series, but the Rebels won the finale to stave off the sweep.
