New Mexico St. tops UH in baseball
Advertiser Staff
New Mexico State played with the sense of urgency Hawai'i lacked Sunday in a 5-3 win to avoid a sweep of the Western Athletic Conference series.The Rainbows (29-12 overall, 7-6 WAC) showed up a little too late, stranding the bases loaded after scoring two in the bottom of the ninth, as 1,528 at Les Murakami Stadium watched UH squander a golden opportunity to pull to within a half-game of first-place Louisiana Tech, a 2-1 loser to Sacramento State yesterday. Instead, UH dropped to third place because Fresno State beat San Jose State, 4-0, Sunday.
"We just showed up, threw our gloves on the field, expected to win and deserved to get beat," UH coach Mike Trapasso said.
