MESA, Ariz. – Postseason baseball is oftentimes about dominant pitching and timely hitting. The NM State baseball team got just that on Wednesday afternoon as Pablo Cortes and Tommy Tabak played the heroes for NM State in a 3-1 win over the top-seeded Sam Houston Bearkats.
Cortes was lights out from the beginning of the game, allowing just one hit over the first two innings. Throughout the day, Cortes just continued to get better as the day progressed.
