Baseball: Lobos come up empty in California road trip that culminated in a 5-5 tie at San Jose State

The Lobo baseball team had a unique three-game series against San Jose State with an even more unique ending with a tie on Sunday afternoon.

New Mexico (18-12-1, 11-2-1 MW) lost the first game of the series on Friday by a score of 2-1 after stranding 12 base runners. After Saturday’s game was postponed due to weather, UNM had a chance to salvage a split in the third scheduled game.

But San Jose State had other ideas and jumped out to a 2-0 lead by scoring a run in each of the first two innings.

UNM senior pitcher Jonathon Tripp got off to a shaky start but wasn’t solely to blame for the early scores given up by the Lobos.
