SALT LAKE CITY - The Utah baseball team came back from a three-run deficit to defeat New Mexico 9-8. The Utes are now 14-14 and 2-6 in the WAC. New Mexico is 12-19 and 3-8 in WAC play.
The Lobos had a strong start scoring three runs in the first inning on a home run by Cory Robbins. Utah came up with one run in the first when senior Ryan Hilts scored on a New Mexico error. New Mexico increased their lead 6-1 in the top of the third inning, when they hit three singles and one double to bring in three runs.
Utah bridged the gap with a two-run home run by freshman catcher Donald Hawes, his second of the season. Both the Lobos and the Utes scored a run in the fifth and New Mexico added another in the sixth to lead the game 8-4. The Utes scored one run in the seventh on two singles and a sacrifice fly by Eric Wallace. In the bottom of the eighth, Utah loaded the bases with singles by Ryan Johnerson, Jed Chrisman and a walk by Mike Goff. With two outs, Hilts hit a three-run double to tie the game 8-8. Utah held the Lobos in the ninth, with two runners on base.
The Utes clinched the win when Wallace doubled and was hit in on a single by Weese. Utah had nine runs on 12 hits with no errors. Ryan Bailey claims the win for the Utes bringing his record to 3-0.
