The Aggie baseball team secured at least a split of their series against Fresno State by winning both games of the doubleheader on Saturday winning game one 9-2 and game two 12-7. The Aggies have now swept Saturday doubleheaders for the second straight week. The Aggies will go for the series victory today at 2:00 p.m. The Aggies are scheduled to face Fresno State's ace Tanner Scheppers. The Aggies were able to get to Scheppers in their meeting in Las Cruces a couple weeks ago as Scheppers gave up six earned runs and five walks in five innings of work. If the Aggies can pull out the victory and Hawai'i can defeat Sacramento State, the Aggies would remain even with those two teams in the loss column with Hawai'i traveling to Las Cruces this coming weekend and Sacramento State heading to Reno to face 2nd place Nevada. You can follow all of today's action on the radio in Las Cruces on KSNM AM 570. Streaming audio is available via Aggie Access (subscription required) and also via the Fresno State athletic website (free) and as always live stats are available via Game Tracker on the Fresno State athletic website.
The Aggie softball team fell in both games of yesterday's doubleheader losing 4-0 in game one and 4-1 in game two to end the season at 7-11 in conference play. Nevada clinched the regular season title and Fresno State finished in second place. The Aggies will be the 5-seed in this week's WAC Softball Championship Tournament in Honolulu and the Aggies will likely face Fresno State to open up the tournament. The softball tournament is a double-elimination tournament and starts on Wednesday.
Be sure to check out our photos from yesterday's women's track and field meet in Albuquerque at the Don Kirby Memorial Invitational hosted by New Mexico. The Aggies had a very solid showing at the meet that included host UNM, UTEP, NMMI, NMJC and South Plains College (women's side). Sophomore Jordan Veney recorded a regional qualifying mark in the discus.
