There did not appear to be any storm clouds above the University of New Mexico softball field during a doubleheader against rival New Mexico State on Tuesday.
But the Aggies seemingly rained on what had been the Lobos’ parade with a sweep, winning 12-8 in the first game and 8-5 in the nightcap.
New Mexico (15-5) entered the doubleheader with a 10-game win streak and a feel-good story of showing great promise with a 15-3 start after a 10-36 season a year ago.
The Lobos led 7-3 through the first five innings on Tuesday, but the Aggies (4-11) then outscored UNM 17-6 over the rest of the doubleheader.
