After splitting the first two games, the baseball team had a chance to take the series from Nevada but failed in the last inning. UNM lost 5-3 on Friday, and won 3-2 on Saturday.
Despite last year’s losing season, head baseball coach Ray Birmingham said he thinks his team could make it to the national championship this year.
Eventually the gloomy weather in Albuquerque cleared, but the day worsened for the UNM baseball team. Up 7-3 heading into the seventh inning of Sunday’s four-game series finale, UNM squandered the lead to Creighton and fell 8-7 in extra innings at Isotopes Park. Creighton second baseman Alex Staehely singled to score Nick Judkins for the go-ahead run in the top of the eleventh inning.
