UNM was on the verge of getting swept in a doubleheader by a Holy Cross team that had been winless in five games before Saturday.
But Willie Cano made sure that wouldn’t happen, his RBI single sparking a two-run rally in the bottom of the ninth in game two, lifting the Lobos (2-5) to a 7-6 victory.
The Lobos and visiting Crusaders (1-6), who won Saturday’s game one 7-5, play a Sunday finale at noon at Santa Ana Star Field.
The Lobos trailed game two 6-2 before scoring twice in the seventh, once in the eighth and twice in the ninth inning.
