New Mexico
Baseball dominated on the road by New Mexico, 19-5
The San Diego State baseball team falls in the second game of the series against New Mexico, 19-5, at Santa Ana Star Field.
This is now the Aztecs’ eighth straight loss and is one loss away from being swept for the fifth time this season. The Aztecs have lost nine of their last 10 games. This is also the first time since 2019 that New Mexico (22-19, 11-9 Mountain West) has won a three-game series against the Aztecs.
The batting and pitching department had a difficult time trying to get anything going. The Aztecs (11-31, 5-15) couldn’t get a hit until the fourth inning. At that point, they were already down by five runs.
The five-run ninth inning was the only time throughout the game that the Aztecs managed to come up with any offense.
Aztecs starting pitcher Omar Serrano made his 11th start of the season. Against the Lobos, Serrano pitched five innings allowing seven runs on nine hits, three strikeouts and walked two batters.
The Aztecs’ pitching rotation allowed a season-high 19 runs to score and gave up 16 hits, the second-highest this season (20).
New Mexico’s starting pitcher Brett Russell dominated the mound allowing no runs on three hits with seven strikeouts through seven innings.
There was a laundry list of New Mexico players that had a productive afternoon. Will Asby went 3-5 with three singles and an RBI. Second baseman Josh McAlister launched a home run in the fifth, the Lobos second of the game. Designated hitter Gene Trujillo hit a three-run home run in his only at-bat during the eighth inning.
The Lobos had nine different batters register with an RBI. Additionally, they had five hitters end with at least two RBIs.
Designated hitter Zane Kelly and second baseman Cade Martinez were the only players on SDSU to record an RBI.
Following the games on Sunday and Tuesday, the Aztecs will enter the last month of the regular season and have an opportunity to end the regular season on a high note before the start of the Mountain West Championships.
The Aztecs have a chance to avoid getting swept tomorrow in the third and final game of the series.
MOUNTAINAIR, N.M. — Three people are dead and more than a dozen first responders were quarantined and being treated Wednesday for exposure to an unidentified substance after being called to a suspected drug overdose at a rural New Mexico home, authorities said.
New Mexico State Police said three of the four people who were found unresponsive inside the home east of Albuquerque died. The fourth was being treated at a hospital in Albuquerque.
During the response, authorities said, 18 first responders were exposed to the substance and began experiencing symptoms including nausea and dizziness. All of the first responders were transported to the University of New Mexico Hospital, where they were being monitored.
Two of the first responders were listed in serious condition, said Officer Wilson Silver with New Mexico State Police.
Albuquerque Fire Rescue Hazmat teams were assisting at the scene in Mountainair, a rural community east of Albuquerque, in efforts to identify the substance involved.
“At this time, investigators believe the substance may be transmitted through contact and do not believe it to be airborne,” Silver said.
While the investigation was ongoing, Mountainair Mayor Peter Nieto said in a social media post that all indications were pointing toward narcotics as a possible factor. He added that there was no threat to the public and that a perimeter had been set up around the home.
Residents, however, took to social media to voice their frustrations about drug use in the community and elsewhere.
The mayor said the town’s law enforcement officers and first responders work every day to protect the community and respond to difficult situations.
“But the reality is that addiction and substance abuse are issues affecting communities all across our state and nation,” Nieto said. “There is no simple or immediate solution. Lasting change requires family support, accountability, education, and most importantly, individuals who are willing to accept help.”
