The New Mexico baseball team was ousted from the Mountain West tournament losing to Nevada 9-4 in 11 innings on Friday.
With the game tied at 3-3, Wolf Pack junior shortstop Kyle Hunt hit an RBI single into right field for the go ahead run and a 4-3 lead. Fourth-seeded Nevada wasn’t done and scored five more runs in the 11th inning to upset No. 2 UNM.
The Lobos managed to score a run in the bottom of the frame for the final score of 9-4.
The loss may have knocked UNM (37-20-1) from receiving an at-large berth for an NCAA regional.
Starting pitcher Colton Thomson threw six innings, giving up two runs on five hits. He also struck out four batters and walked two.
UNM closer Victor Sanchez took the loss after allowing five runs on five hits in just two innings of work.
UNM lost its MW tourney opener to No. 3 San Diego State 11-5 on Thursday.
