Air Force not unstoppable

Ryan Tomari | May 8

Swing, strike, sit was the theme of the weekend for Air Force — except for three innings. The Lobos completed a sweep of Air Force on Sunday with a 16-4 win at Lobo Field, but they couldn’t record three straight shutouts. Starting pitcher Rudy Jaramillo blanked the Falcons 5-0 on Friday, and pitcher Jake McCasland followed suit on Saturday, helping the Lobos to a 10-0 win and their first back-to-back shutouts since 1983. The UNM bullpen dominated AFA, but head coach Ray Birmingham bemoaned his team’s inconsistency.

Club racks up members

Ryan Tomari | May 4

Racquetball is the fastest-growing sport at UNM. For eight years, the UNM racquetball club team has practiced and played on the top-level courts at Johnson Center. Ray Gomez, who has been on the team for three years, said that the club has expanded. “In my first year, we maybe had eight people, and now we have around 20,” he said.

Brandon Call | May 2

The UNM softball team didn’t have an affinity for defense, nor did Colorado State. The Lobos smashed 17 hits — four long balls — en route to Saturday’s 13-7 win against CSU at Lobo Field. Head coach Erica Beach said she expected an offensive battle against the Rams. “That’s how they play the game,” she said.

Nathan Farmer | April 29

Down doesn’t mean done for the UNM women’s golf team. After a grueling eight-month season, the Lobos are preparing for their 19th straight trip to the NCAA regionals May 5 in Auburn, Wash., after they received an at-large bid. “It’s a nice ending to a really tough year for us,” head coach Jill Trujillo said.

Shaun Griswold | April 25

On Sunday night, the 6-foot-7 forward from Dallas, Texas, gave a verbal commitment to play with the UNM men’s basketball team next season.

Alumni gather to fight disease

Nathan Farmer | April 21

A single match for a sole cause. The UNM men’s soccer team will welcome back past greats this weekend in a benefit match to help former player, Pat Grange, who was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease. Grange played for the Lobos for two years and scored two goals in the NCAA tournament as he led UNM to the Sweet 16 in 2004.

Promising batter looks for luck

Ryan Tomari | April 20

Mitchell Garver has seen the good times, and now he’s living through the bad times. As All-American candidate Rafael Neda’s backup, Garver played on one of the best teams in UNM baseball history in 2010, a squad that made the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1962.

Three hopefuls aim for quarterback spot

Cesar Davila | April 18

Call it the quarterback cha-cha-cha. Because of injuries and ineffectiveness, the UNM football team’s quarterbacks played musical chairs last season, with the Lobos starting four guys at the position. And even though spring practices concluded Saturday at University Stadium, the music’s still going. By all accounts, head coach Mike Locksley said the Lobos have three capable starters: B.R.

Spread offense gone wild

Cesar Davila | April 15

The Cherry-Silver game on Saturday will resemble a scene out of a Marvel comic book. That’s because the UNM football team has “Flash” and the Scarlett Speedster. Together with receptions leader Ty Kirk, transfers Lamaar “Flash” Thomas and Deon Long, and Michael Scarlett, the Lobos have one of the most exciting, if unproven, receiving corps in the Mountain West Conference.
