Offense was the key for the University of New Mexico baseball team.
The Lobos (2-3), who scored nine runs in the first inning alone, defeated Central Michigan, 20-9, at Santa Ana Star Field on a cold Thursday evening.
UNM’s home opener saw a plethora of hitting, with five or more Lobos adding two or more hits to their stat line. Of the five, junior Hayden Schilling was most impressive. He had four hits on five at-bats, a double, three runs and four RBI.
Junior Jeff Deimling had three hits and senior Danny Collier and freshmen Connor Mang and Brayden Merritt each had two hits.
