No. 20 New Mexico Takes Series

Image

ALBUQUERQUE -- First place New Mexico retained its league lead as it claimed a 9-5 come-from-behind victory Saturday over BYU’s baseball team.

The No. 20 Lobos, now 24-4 overall and 5-1 in the Mountain West Conference, overcame a 5-3 deficit. UNM took an 8-5 lead, scoring five runs on five hits as it drove BYU starter Adam Miller and reliever Justin Shutt off the mound in the seventh inning.

The Lobos jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning. BYU rallied to take the advantage in the third inning with four consecutive hits, starting with a Sean McNaughton double. McNaughton continued breaking out of his slump when he hit a 420-foot home run into the teeth of the wind in left-centerfield in the seventh.

BYU, now 15-10 and 5-4, takes a breather from MWC action with a three-game series starting Thursday at Western Carolina University.

Hosting The Wolverines

Image

Before BYU’s baseball team travels to play nationally ranked New Mexico, it first hosts Utah Valley University on Tuesday evening.

BYU, 13-8 overall, has its first of two games against UVU, 6-14, in a contest that starts at 6 p.m. Prior to that game at Miller Park, BYU’s softball team opens its home season at 4 p.m., versus Boise State. This is the first of six back-to-back softball/baseball contests at Miller Park.

Tuesday's baseball contest is also a designated "Y Game," where student-athletes compete to see how many attend from the respective Cougar teams.

For the baseball portion of Tuesday, BYU will start freshman Natahn Bunch (2-0, 4.50), while the Wolverines will counter with St. George junior Brock Sargent (1-3, 7.77). The rematch of the BYU-UVU game will be on April 27 in Orem.

Following Tuesday’s BYU-UVU contest, the Cougars return to Mountain West Conference action when they take a 4-2 league record to New Mexico. The Lobos, 22-3 overall and 3-0 in the MWC, are ranked 21st by Baseball America and 20th by Collegiate Baseball.

The BYU-UNM games will be broadcast live locally over KSRR Radio (1400 AM). Game times at Albuquerque are Thursday and Friday at 6 p.m., with a noon start on Saturday.
