Eight was enough for San Diego State, not quite enough for the floundering University of New Mexico baseball team.
The Aztecs (10-25, 4-14) outlasted UNM 11-8 Saturday at Santa Ana Star Field, completing a three-game Mountain West Conference sweep by the last-place visitors over the Lobos (14-21, 6-12)
The game was called after eight innings due to a mutually agreed-upon time curfew involving San Diego State’s travel itinerary, according to the San Diego State sports information department – which said it is the first Aztecs sweep in Albuquerque since 1990.
New Mexico fought back from a 9-1 deficit after three innings to within 9-8 after seven, thanks in part to solo home runs by Jeffrey David, Kyle Landers, Lance Russell and Cole Posey.
