It’s seldom a good sign when the opposing baseball team begins to make defensive changes as early as the third inning, and that’s what New Mexico did Friday night against UNLV.
That doesn’t mean, however, there wasn’t drama.
Not in the outcome, but whether it would be record-setting defeat for the Rebels.
It wasn’t.
UNLV scored four runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to avoid matching its worst loss, but that was little consolation in the 29-8 thrashing at the hands of the Lobos at Wilson Stadium in the opener of a three-game series.
