Ixan Henderson became the Friday starter for head coach Mike Batesole, demonstrating a strong performance in a dominant 11-1 win against New Mexico.
Henderson, now (6-2), went seven strong in a winning effort on Friday night, only allowing one earned run on just three hits and two walks for the Lobos. He was one strikeout shy of matching his career best, finishing with 11 K’s on the night.
Assistant coach Ryan Overland said Henderson’s competitive drive fuels the whole team to compete harder.
“What he’s done leading this pitching staff and the way he competes, the way he attacks hitters and the way he views competition, this whole team has taken that approach,” Overland said.
