LAS CRUCES, N.M. – One day can make all the difference. Less than 24 hours after scoring just one run across nine innings, NM State bounced back from a Friday loss to earn the program's first league win as a member of Conference USA. The Aggies (11-10, 1-1 CUSA) emerged from the Saturday bout with a 9-0 win in five innings over Western Kentucky (14-7-1, 1-1 CUSA).
In total, five different Aggies logged a hit on Saturday night, including multi-hit games from both Desirae Spearman and Dezianna Patmon. Patmon fueled most of the offense as her two hits turned into six of the Aggies' eight RBIs, including four RBIs from a grand slam in the bottom of the third inning.
