ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. New Mexico’s bat woke up just a tad too late in each game of a doubleheader, but it just wasn’t quite enough. New Mexico twice got the tying or winning run to the plate in the ninth inning after trailing by six runs, but UNM couldn’t cap off either comeback, losing 10-8 in game one and then 11-9 in the nightcap. The two losses sent UNM to 9-19 overall and 6-11 in the MW while Fresno State improved to 15-19 overall and 12-12 in the Mountain West.
The two teams finish the series at noon at Santa Ana Star Field. Both teams have not announced a starting pitcher.
