LAS VEGAS, Nev. – New Mexico (4-5) had no luck, and no ability to get UNLV batters out, Saturday. The Runnin’ Rebels (4-1) blasted the Lobos 24-7 and 8-5 in Mountain West baseball.
Chase Maddux, son of Hall of Fame pitcher Greg Maddux, got the UNLV win in a seven-inning game one. The Rebels blasted 20 hits and capitalized on two Lobo errors to score 13 unearned runs. Will Armbruester took the brunt of it for UNM, allowing all of the runs in a 10-run fifth, eight of them unearned.
Willie Cano had three of UNM’s 13 hits in the nine-inning nightcap, but UNLV rallied from a 5-4 deficit with four eighth-inning runs and held on. The two teams wrap up the three-game set Sunday.

Scouting New Mexico State
Texas A&M welcomed New Mexico State to Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park for the first time last season, and the good guys were not nice hosts, outscoring the other Aggies 31-10 in a convincing three-game sweep. A&M could use more of that hospitality in 2021 as the team is still digging out of a 1-3 hole from their first week.

Lifeguard Captain Jeff Horn had just left La Playita on 14th Street in Hermosa Beach with a breakfast burrito when I ran into him on The Strand. We know each other from paddleboarding. Horn was head of the Junior Lifeguard program and was on his way to the Hermosa pier station for a JG meeting.

As a KCCI meteorologist, Kurtis Gertz has had some memorable TV moments most of them connected to noteworthy Iowa weather events.
They include being on the scene, his car s dash cam recording, when a tornado touched down in Woodward in 2005.
But if there was any moment that stood out above all the others, it was one that occurred on an otherwise typically bright, sunny August day at the Iowa State Fair.
It was 2008, and the Emmy award-winning Gertz who KCCI announced Wednesday will be stepping down as chief meteorologist in May was making a live TV appearance on stage with a snake trainer.
