Lobos Head to Colorado Springs for Three-Game Series Versus Air Force
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. This week, the University of New Mexico baseball team is back on the road to face off with the Air Force Falcons in Colorado Springs, Colo. It hasn’t been the smoothest season for the team, as they have been back in action for just two weeks after a pause in the season due to a positive COVID test within the team. The three-game series will start with a doubleheader on Saturday at 10 a.m. MT, and conclude with one game on Sunday at 11 a.m. MT.
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.
