ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. The University of New Mexico baseball team had a dominant outing versus Utah Valley, taking down the Wolverines 14-6 at Santa Ana Star Field, sweeping the series. The Lobos went back and forth with the Wolverines before breaking the game open with an eight-run sixth inning.
“New Mexico State split with this team, so it was nice to sweep them for the good ol’ state of New Mexico,” said head coach Ray Birmingham.
The scoring started for the Lobos in the first inning as Adam Schneider scored on a balk, advancing Catillo to second on the play. Later on in the inning, Castillo was brought in off a double from Willie Cano. In the second inning, another double, this time from Shane Podsednik, scored Jared Martin for a 3-0 Lobo lead.
In response to letter to the editor regarding telemedicine May 10:
Having been involved in the evaluation, planning and use of telemedicine for over 25 years statewide, nationally and internationally, and as prior medical director of the Center for Telehealth at the University of New Mexico and now professor emeritus, I strongly believe the motivation for using telemedicine is improving access to care, not profit. Health professionals should be reimbursed appropriately for health care services provided through telemedicine, and the New Mexico state Legislature has passed bills that have been signed into law recognizing telemedicine as a legitimate means of proving care and that those services should be reimbursed appropriately. Medicare and Medicaid provide means of being reimbursed for covered services provided via telemedicine, as do most health care insurance companies.
