After a 12-4 loss to Arkansas, the Bears were hoping to bounce back from a midweek loss like they did after the previous two midweek losses.
It didn’t happen this time.
Missouri State (21-12, 6-0) dropped their second straight game with a 17-8 loss to New Mexico in their series opener in Albuquerque.
The Bears had been playing catch-up all night, but 11 unanswered New Mexico runs proved to be too much to come back from.
New Mexico’s Beau Capanna’s three-run triple was followed by Jared Mang’s three-run double to extend the Lobos' lead to 14-7 in the sixth.
