A combination of bullpen woes for New Mexico and the offense of Air Force thriving late dealt the UNM baseball team a loss in the first of a three-game series Friday night.
The Falcons tied and flew past the Lobos by collecting a total of 13 runs over the final four innings to take an 18-14 win at Santa Ana Star Field.
As a team, the Lobos tallied 18 hits. Second baseman Justin Watari paced the team, going 3-for-5 at the plate with two RBI and three runs. Jared Mang, Danny Collier and Hayden Schilling also had three each, with Mang contributing three RBI and one run.
