Some residents in Fall River County want to declare uranium mining a nuisance. If approved, a unique ballot measure could give voters in this southwestern corner of the state a say over the future of a project that’s been stuck in permitting limbo for more than a decade.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. The University of New Mexico baseball team started off hot and kept it close in its series finale versus Fresno State (16-19, 13-12 MW), but it was not enough as the Lobos were edged out by the Bulldogs 9-12 at Santa Ana Star Field. The Lobos (9-20, 6-12 MW) were led by Lance Russell, who went 4-5 from the plate with three RBIs and one run.
“Fresno was a different team this time around,” said head coach Ray Birmingham. “They hammered our pitching.”
The Lobos led the game through the first two innings scoring in both frames. In the first, Kyler Castillo hit an RBI single that scored Chase Weissenborn, and in the second, it was Mack Chambers who doubled to right-center, scoring Jacob Gutierrez.
