ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The Fresno State baseball team fell 2-6 to New Mexico in the series finale on Sunday on the road.
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Lobos got on the board early with a solo home run.
After three quiet innings, Michael McKernan tied up the score, sending Ben Newton across the plate with an RBI single in the top of the fourth.
A solo homer pushed the Lobos ahead in the bottom of the sixth, but Bobby "Barrels" Blandford did not let that last long with a solo shot of his own to right field to tie the game again at two in the top of the seventh.
The Lobos responded with a three-run seventh due to a pair of Bulldog errors and sealed the deal in the eighth with one last insurance run. New Mexico defeated the Bulldogs 6-2 to cap the series.
NOTES
Despite the loss, the Bulldogs remain at the top of the Mountain West, leading the conference by four games.
Boby Blandford hit the Bulldogs' 43rd home run of the season, his seventh this year.
Fresno State has yet to lose a series this season.
