The New Mexico softball team (12-33, 5-11 MW) was unable to spoil the christening of San Jose State's (28-15, 12-6 MW) new field on Friday night, as the Spartans won 3-1.
The Spartans opened the scoring right away, putting a run on the scoreboard in the bottom of the first. Senior Emma Entzminger recorded the first hit of the game with an infield single, and then stole second to move into scoring position.
Fellow senior Brittany Abacherli singled off of Lobos starter Jensen Main to drive in Entzminger and give SJSU an early 1-0 lead. The Spartans continued to threaten, loading the bases with no outs, but Main was able to work her way out of the jam and limit the Spartans to just the one run.
