ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The Lobos got back on track against the Nevada Wolf Pack, going 2-1 in the opening weekend series of conference play for UNM after having the bye last weekend. The 2-1 record has the Lobos in a tie for second place (and most likely first but Nevada’s 12-5 lead over Air Force isn’t officially in the books yet as they will continue that suspended game later in the year).
UNM opened the weekend with wins of 8-3 and 3-2 before bowing 7-6 in the get-away game. Carson Schneider had his first career complete game in the win on Friday, allowing just six hits and three runs. Tyler Stevens then turned in 7.2 innings on Saturday, allowing just two runs before UNM’s bullpen closed the door.
UNM nearly pulled off a nice comeback on Sunday, but stranded the tying run at second in the ninth inning.
Against Grand Canyon: The Lobos swept a weekday series against Grand Canyon last season, winning 7-3 and then 14-2. The Lobos have split 16 games with GCU in Phoenix.
Series Record: 18-10
Home: 9-2; Away: 8-8 Neutral: 1-0
Up Next: UNM comes home after a six-game road trip to take on San José State in a three-game weekend series.• SCOUTING GRAND CANYON … The Grand Canyon Antelopes are members of the Western Athletic Conference and they are in their last year of their transition period into Division I, as they were a former Division I powerhouse.
They have been led by Austin Bull and Thomas Lerouge, who are hitting .409 and 3.393 respectively. Lerouge’s 24 hits lead the team, as does his three stolen bases. Overall, GCU’s offense has hit .297 with six homers and slugged .414. On the mound, Jake Repavich is 2-0 with a 1.00 ERA in four starts, and UNM might see him briefly on Wednesday. Tuesday’s starter is Tyler Wyatt, who is 0-1 with a 7.71 ERA in three start. He also has started eight games in the infield. Mick Vorhog is a superior closer, with a 2-0 record and three saves in six appearances. He has allowed just four hits and no runs in 6.2 innings.

• WE BE ILLIN’ … If New Mexico’s lineup looked a little odd on Saturday, it was as five players were left at the hotel after coming down with some sort of quick bug. That led to Andre Vigil starting in right field, and eventually picking up his first game winning RBI of the season. It also forced Carl Stajduhar into his first game of the season at first base. He was tested too, making a diving stop down the line to keep a runner on second from scoring, which would have given Nevada a 1-0 lead in the fifth inning.
