DALLAS – In a wild, highu2011scoring slugfest at Horner Ballpark, NM State stormed back from a nine-run deficit with a nineu2011run seventh inning and held off DBU late to earn a 17-14 victory. This evens the weekend series and improves the Aggies' record to 9-9 on the year and 1-1 in league play following a win over the preseason Conference USA favorite.
DBU opened with a 1–0 lead in the first, then erupted for six in the second and four in the third to jump ahead 11–4. However, the Aggies chipped away, beginning with a threeu2011run third inning capped by a threeu2011run home run to center.
