The University of New Mexico baseball team finished out the weekend strong, defeating Air Force 7-4 in the series finale on Sunday afternoon at Santa Ana Star Field.
Sophomore Cody Dye started on the mound for the Lobos (10-12-1, 4-5 MW). He pitched seven strong innings, allowing four runs on eight hits and struck out eight Air Force batters to put himself in line for the win.
The strikeout total tied a career high for the sophomore righty, but also delivered a career-high 133 pitches towards home plate before the workhorse exited the game.
The win was the Lobos’ second in their three-game series against the Falcons this weekend, as they had won Saturday’s matchup, too, behind a walk-off home run in the tenth inning courtesy of senior Danny Collier.
