Lobo baseball earns wild win over nationally ranked Texas Tech

Who says lightning doesn’t strike in the same place twice?

Jake Holland blasted a walk-off solo home run off light pole beyond the left-field fence in the bottom of the ninth inning Tuesday and the University of New Mexico baseball team pulled out a wildly entertaining 11-10 victory over 20th-ranked Texas Tech at Santa Ana Star Field.

The Lobos trailed 4-0 early, were down 10-8 in the seventh inning, scratched out a pair of runs to get even and celebrated after Holland’s winning shot.

“Amazing,” Holland said after being doused with ice water and having his jersey ripped off by teammates at home plate.
