New Mexico State cools off UNM bats in 2-0 baseball win

Past performances meant nothing at Santa Ana Star Field on Tuesday night.

New Mexico State came into the season’s first baseball Rio Grande rivalry lugging a 2-15 record. Host New Mexico brought in a 12-7 record and was leading Division I in hitting.

Final score: NMSU 2, UNM 0.
