LAS CRUCES, N.M. – It won't go down as a complete game in the record book, but freshman Matalasi Faapito's performance in the circle against Battle of I-25 rival New Mexico was a memorable one.
The first-year phenom recorded every out in NM State's 4-3 win over the Lobos Tuesday evening at the Softball Complex, tossing 6 1/3 innings before her outing appeared to be over. Faapito, however, reentered the ballgame after back-to-back walks by the Aggie bullpen and notched the final two outs to seal the rivalry victory.
NM State improves to 15-8 overall with the win.
