NM State Falls to Dallas Baptist 14-7 Despite Early Lead
In a tough matchup, NM State’s baseball team couldn’t hang on to an early lead as they fell 14-7 to No. 17 Dallas Baptist. The Aggies started strong, taking a 4-3 lead into the fourth inning, but Dallas Baptist’s explosive eight-run fourth inning proved to be too much to overcome. Despite efforts from players like Brandon Forrester, who scored three runs, and Mitch Namie, who hit a two-run homer, the Aggies couldn’t close the gap.
Pitcher Jack Turner struggled, allowing 10 earned runs in just 3.2 innings, resulting in his second loss of the season. The relief pitchers tried to limit the damage, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the early deficit. The team faced challenges throughout the game, with the loss marking just the third time they had lost while scoring six or more runs this season.
Looking ahead, NM State will have a chance to bounce back in the second game of the series against DBU on Saturday. The team will return to Presley Askew Field for a 4 p.m. matchup.
