As it turned out, Sunday’s final score at Santa Ana Star Field was doubly significant.
The University of New Mexico baseball rolled to an 11-4 victory over Air Force, winning its first Mountain West series of the season and improving to, that’s right, 11-4 overall.
The Lobos got just about everything they could have wanted, bouncing back to win the three-game series after losing Friday’s opener, 9-7 in 10 innings. UNM outscored Air Force by a combined 26-4 over the final two games.
Dylan Ditzenberger and Lenny Junior Ashby had three hits apiece for UNM on Sunday, including three combined hits in an eight-run first inning that set the tone.
