WKU Baseball eliminates New Mexico State, 8-2, to advance in CUSA Championships
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) – WKU Baseball defeated New Mexico State to advance in the Conference USA Championships, 8-2, Thursday evening at Pat Patterson Park. The third-seeded Hilltoppers will face the loser of sixth-seeded FIU and two-seeded Dallas Baptist on Friday at 4 p.m. CT in another elimination game.
It was a pitcher’s duel early as the game entered the sixth inning with a 1-1 score. With two outs and the bases loaded, junior Austin Haller laced one up the middle to score a pair of runs before junior Kyle Hayes did the same thing two batters later. The Hilltoppers tacked on three more in the seventh courtesy of an Aggie error and a pair of RBI from sophomore Dylan O’Connell.
Haller continued off his momentum from yesterday, driving in three runs in a two-hit outing while scoring a run. O’Connell also had a pair of hits with two RBI while Hayes accounted for the other two RBI. Juniors Blake Cavill, Joey Baran, and Zayd Brannigan tallied multi-hit performances.
The WKU pitching staff allowed just two runs on seven hits and three walks on the day to a New Mexico State lineup averaging over eight runs with over 10 hits per game.
Junior Grant Burleson made his first start on the mound since the end of February and surrendered one run on one hit while punching out two. Senior Cory Bosecker checked in to start the third inning and tossed 3.0 shutout frames while conceding three hits with a trio of strikeouts. The next 3.0 innings belonged to junior Cole Heath and sophomore Jack Bennett who combined to give up zero runs on two hits while fanning two. Heath earned the winning-decision and improved his 2024 record to 1-0.
The Aggies got on the board first in the second inning, but an RBI groundout from Haller tied the game in the third.
In the sixth, Haller put the Tops in front with a two-run single before Hayes added a pair of insurance runs with another two-run single.
WKU poured it on in the seventh with a New Mexico State error scoring one before O’Connell singled to score a couple more.
The Aggies added a second run in the top of the ninth, but that would be all they could muster.

Grant’s Monday Evening Forecast
Rain chances increase across parts of New Mexico through Wednesday, while breezy conditions stick around all week.
Upper level moisture moving into the state today is bringing a few isolated sprinkles, but most of the rain is evaporating before reaching the ground. The evaporating rain is causing some locally windy weather and picking up dust. It’s also another warm day with a few record and near-record highs, including another record high in Albuquerque. The light sprinkles will taper off tonight, but cloud cover will stick around.
Better moisture arrives from the west Tuesday afternoon, bringing a higher chance for wetting rainfall, mainly across western and northwestern New Mexico. Snow will also develop in the San Juan Mountains. A few showers and storms could reach as far east as the Rio Grande Valley by Tuesday evening.
The best chance for widespread rain comes Wednesday as deeper moisture and a Pacific cold front move in. Rain and mountain snow will favor western, northwestern, and northern New Mexico early in the day. Activity will weaken farther east, but a few light showers may reach eastern New Mexico by late morning. It will also turn cooler and windier Wednesday afternoon.
Warmer and drier weather returns Thursday and continues into Friday. A backdoor cold front moves into eastern New Mexico Friday night, bringing cooler temperatures to that part of the state for the weekend.
SANTA FE, N.M. – Northbound I-25 work near San Felipe Pueblo could slow Albuquerque-to-Santa Fe commuters this week through April 10.
The New Mexico Department of Transportation said crews started maintenance on I-25’s northbound lanes between mile 250 and 264 between Santa Fe and Albuquerque.
The work is happening near San Felipe Pueblo, and crews will do the maintenance in five-mile increments.
NMDOT said crews finished the same maintenance on the southbound lanes over the last two weeks.
NMDOT expects the northbound work to be done by April 10.
