Two heavyweights stood toe-to-toe and traded shots all the way into the final round, but the slugfest didn’t occur in a boxing ring, rather on a baseball diamond in Dallas, Texas.
New Mexico (4-1) made it to the final bell and emerged as the winner, outlasting No. 23 Dallas Baptist (4-2) to take a 6-5 victory on Saturday afternoon.
The Lobos landed the first blow, scoring in the top half of the first inning. UNM’s Luis Gonzalez laid down a bunt to the third base side to open the game and advanced to second base after a throwing error by DBU pitcher Trevor Conn.
