ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- St. Thomas baseball drops two the New Mexico Lobos Saturday afternoon. The Tommies fell 5-1 in game one and looked to bounce back in game two but ultimately fell in a close 4-3 battle. 

 

Game One: 

New Mexico opened the scoring in the second by plating one, taking an early 1-0 lead. The Lobos then scored another in the bottom of the fourth to make it 2-0. 

 

The Tommies were able to plate a run of their own in the top of the sixth. Chris Knowles brought in Tanner Recchio to pick up the RBI and cut the deficit to one. 

 

The Lobos then hit a solo and two run homerun in the bottom of the eighth to take a 5-1 lead. 

 

Game Two: 

It was scoreless through the first three innings, but the Lobos struck first plating one in the bottom of the fourth. 

 

The Tommies knotted the game at one in the sixth after Joe Roder walked and came around to score on Owen Bond's single. St. Thomas then took the lead in the seventh after Adam Puder doubled, and Recchio singled to bring in Puder and pick up the RBI. 

 

The Lobos were able to take back the lead, plating two in the bottom of the eighth.  

 

St. Thomas responded scoring one of their own to knot the game at three in the ninth. Lucas McNellis led off the inning getting hit by a pitch and his pinch runner Colin Lewandowski came around to score off a pinch hit single from Evan Raabe

 

The Lobos then plated one to take the game 4-3.

 

Owen Marsolek tallied seven strikeouts in 7.1 innings of work.
