NM State Aggies Prepare for Midweek Clash Against Texas Tech
Las Cruces, N.M. – The New Mexico State Aggies are set to face Texas Tech on Tuesday night in Lubbock, Texas, marking their last midweek game of the season. Following a challenging weekend in Marietta, Georgia, where only two of three games were played due to inclement weather, the Aggies (22-25, 10-10 CUSA) are eager to break an 11-game losing streak against the Red Raiders (16-28, 11-13 Big 12).
The matchup will be streamed live on ESPN+ at 5:05 p.m. MT, with NM State striving to improve their position after a tough series against Kennesaw State, where they dropped both games. Despite holding a 9-5 lead in the opener, poor weather conditions allowed Kennesaw to stage a comeback, ultimately winning 11-9.
Key player Brandon Forrester leads the Aggies offensively, boasting a .343 batting average and a .445 on-base percentage this season. Head Coach Jake Angier has faced challenges with injuries affecting the lineup, but players like Austin Corbett and Gianni Horvat have stepped up, showing impressive performances over the weekend.
As the Aggies gear up for their showdown with Texas Tech, they will aim to refine their strategies and utilize key players like Mitch Namie and Connor Wylde to enhance their game. Namie leads in hits and RBIs while Wylde recently delivered a complete-game shutout against Middle Tennessee.
Additionally, NM State has shown promise in Conference USA, currently ranked as the fifth-best league in the country. With their sights set on an upcoming series against Western Kentucky, the Aggies hope to turn their fortunes around and build momentum in the final stretch of the season.
