Another stellar performance by reigning Mountain West Pitcher of the Week Tristin Lively wasn’t enough for the New Mexico Lobos baseball team on Saturday afternoon at Santa Ana Star Field, as visiting San Diego State (9-13, 6-3 MW) rallied for two runs in the ninth to win 3-1.
The series concludes on Sunday with first pitch set for noon (streaming at themw.com). The Lobos (15-10, 5-5), who fell 5-3 on Friday night in the series opener, look to avoid the sweep.
Lively, a senior right-hander, matched his season high with eight strikeouts in eight innings, limiting the Aztecs to a run on five hits and a walk.
