Lobos Pound Utah Valley 16-2 ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Justin Armbruester’s afternoon was pretty stellar, walking across the stage, diploma in hand after graduating from The University of New Mexico. His evening was pretty special as well. Armbruester looked every bit of the ace that he is, shutting down Utah Valley over seven scoreless innings, allowing just three hits while striking out nine.  He received plenty of offense in the form on 16 runs on 15 hits as New Mexico clinched a weekend series over Utah Valley with a 16-2 drubbing.  UNM will go for the sweep tomorrow at high noon at Santa...

USAFA, Colo. — Despite posting 16 runs on 22 hits through two games, The University of New Mexico baseball team was edged out twice by Air Force in a doubleheader on Saturday.

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.
