LAS CRUCES, N.M. – The New Mexico State baseball team closed out a four-game weekend series against Maine on Sunday at Presley Askew Field. Combining for five scoring innings, including three multi-run frames, the Aggies swept the series with an 8-5 win in the finale.
Following a low-scoring contest considering the weather, head coach commented, "I told our pitchers that what they did was beyond impressive, limiting the walks and only allowing single-scoring innings. This is the best defense we've had since I've been here and that is really changing things for us."
Howling winds throughout the game allowed for some routine fly balls to turn into much more as NM State (13-8) southpaw took on 6-5 right-hander Chris Murphy of Maine (4-17).
