LAS CRUCES, N.M. – The New Mexico State baseball team had an impressive opening weekend with a series sweep over the Texas Southern Tigers that saw the Aggies produce 98 runs in just four games. Among all the impressive numbers, the team was led offensively by second baseman Nick Gonzales whose play earned him the nod for Western Athletic Conference Hitter of the Week and one of Collegiate Baseball's National Players of the Week.
Gonzales looked to be in midseason form on opening weekend, going 16-for-22 at the plate with a team-high 16 runs batted in and a tie for the team lead with four home runs in the sweep of the defending Southwestern Athletic Conference champions.
