The Independent Voice of UNM since 1895
Student angered over dorm flood, escorted from Schmidly’s office by police by Chelsea Erven cerven@unm.edu
Student Chris Fullerton went to UNM president David Schmidly’s office March 23, hoping to talk about his flooded dorm. Instead, three UNMPD police officers escorted the student from Scholes Hall. Fullerton’s dorm flooded Jan. 3, after a pipe burst over winter break. Not satisfied with the University’s response, Fullerton said he decided to talk to Schmidly about the problem, but every time he asked to set up a meeting, he was told Schmidly was in a meeting, on vacation or at an appointment, he said. “I called about 15 or 20 times,” Fullerton said. Fullerton took matters into his own hands. He said he called Schmidly and told the office that he was Walt Miller, the vice president of Student Life. “They put me right through to him, and Schmidly answered 20 seconds later,” Fullerton said, Fullerton then told the president he was not Miller and asked to set up a meeting. Schmidly, Fullerton said, told him he was late for a doctor’s appointment and couldn’t meet. Fullerton, who made the call from

University police officers walked in and told me that President Schmidly didn’t want to meet me,” Fullerton said. The officers then escorted Fullerton out of the building, he said. University Spokeswoman Susan McKinsey gave her version of the events in Schmidly’s office. “On the date in question, this individual apparently misrepresented who he was,” she said. “When he was here, he was disruptive; officers were called; he was asked to leave, and he complied.”

Fullerton’s SRC apartment dorm was one of 30 dorms that suffered water damage during the break, University spokeswoman Karen Wentworth said. She said the damage totaled nearly $500,000. Fullerton said that some of his belongings were damaged and others were stolen after maintenance workers left his door open. He said he was told his belongings would be covered until he received a letter from Brian Murray, the University’s insurance adjuster, from Keenan and Associates.
“(Murray) said UNM was not responsible for any of the stuff that was gone and damaged because it was an ‘act of God,’” Fullerton said. “Even employees leaving my door open was an ‘act of God,’ somehow.” Wentworth said students without renter’s insurance are responsible for replacing their belongings. She said many students, especially Fullerton, are not happy with the policy. “The University advises all the students in the dorms to get renter’s insurance to cover something like this,” she said. “ … We do have one student who is challenging the policy, and he was told pretty much the only option that he has is small claims court.” Fullerton said he was told the damage could have been prevented. “I was told by a maintenance supervisor that the reason the pipes in that dorm broke was because they turned the heat completely off to that building over winter break rather than to low, like they were supposed to,” he said. What bothered Fullerton the most, he said, is that Schmidly’s office called the cops without reason. “His office didn’t even have the respect to ask me to leave before calling the police,” he said. McKinsey said officers were called because it was a safety matter. “No office and no staff member will be asked to take a chance with that,” she said.
UNM area braces Regents to talk tuition, cuts What’s At Stake: for population boom by Shaun Griswold shaun24@unm.edu

Traffic congestion will increase dramatically in the University area by 2035, according to a multi-county governmental agency’s projections. The Mid-Region Council of Government is accepting feedback on the 2035 Metropolitan Transportation Plan, said Terry Doyle, MRCOG Director of Transportation. He said that the organization estimates a population increase of about 551,000 people by 2035 in the area that comprises Sandoval, Santa Fe, Valencia and Bernalillo counties. “We’re talking about adding a whole other Bernalillo county to the four-county area,” Doyle said. Doyle said more than 400,000 people of that increase will live west of the Rio Grande. “The need to cross the river just keeps getting bigger and bigger,” he said. “It looks like we’re not going to build more capacity for single-occupancy vehicles. ...The issues have somewhat always been the same. This plan recognizes that us building more capacity, in terms of bridges, is pretty
slim.” The University area, including UNM and CNM, gets about 75,000 daily commutes, said Tony Sylvester, MRCOG Special Projects manager. Sylvester worked on a study with members from UNM, CNM, the City of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County. He said they formed a Travel Demand Management committee to find and address the area’s transportation problems. “It’s going to be a combination of addressing parking, potentially improving transit, some policy changes, and identifying potential infrastructure improvements and weak points,” Sylvester said. “It’s not us (MRCOG) that makes that decision on whether we move forward on that. It’s up to the committee.” Parking at UNM is problematic, according to the UNM/CNM Travel Demand Management Study. The report said it increases unnecessary driving, particularly to, from and around the main campus. Sylvester said UNM and CNM worked to provide students with parking on and near campus, but because

The Board of Regents will discuss raising tuition costs, covering employee retirement benefits and work toward approving a 2011-12 operating budget during an open meeting today in the SUB Ballroom. On the table is a 5 percent tuition increase, on top of a 3.1 percent mandated by the State Legislature. The regents will also discuss the Education Retirement Board swap, where higher administration would, on top of other cost-cutting measures, have to pay 1.75 percent more into their pensions so faculty and staff don’t have to. The budget summit starts at 9 a.m. The regents will look at cost-containment measures presented by UNM President David Schmidly to offset a $5.4 million revenue decrease,
8 % overall tuition increase. 1.75 % faculty and staff pay cut. $2.2 million increase to strengthen the academic mission. $2.9 million to cut from IT. $800,000 cut from each education department (except Arts & Sciences). $385,000 cut from the Athletics Department
according to UNM’s Office of Planning, Budget and Analysis. Measures to save money include a $2.9 million reduction within Information Technologies, more than $800,000

Get to Know
Daily Lobo: What do you see as the biggest issues facing the graduate community? Katie Richardson: Graduate research funding is a big one. $300 million comes to the University from other sources, and graduate students help faculty conduct a lot of that research. We need to make sure UNM is investing in our talent and our graduate students and making sure our resources are maximized so we can receive that funding. Forty percent of undergraduate classes are taught by graduate students. UNM can only fulfill its academic mission with our help, so I would fight to protect graduate assistant and teaching assistant positions. Sixty percent of graduate students don’t have GA- and TA-ships so they are paying their tuition and fees out-of-pocket. Nationally, there is a major problem with how we are funding higher education. We need to work on making it accessible at all levels and try to prevent any increase in tuition and fees. DL: If elected, how will you work to address these?
KR: To some extent, I have already been doing this work for grad students. Fighting tuition increases as the graduate student representative in the cost containment committee, I worked to lower fees by working with the SFRB for the past two years. I have also increased access to research dollars as grants chair for the past two years. Â I am already doing this work. I am just asking to continue doing what I can for graduate students. I intend to be a leader who is open, inclusive, and who is accountable. I have always been committed to serving students, keeping costs low and ensuring transparent government. That is what I stand for. That is my arching vision for GPSA? DL: Would you work with other organizations to accomplish your goals? KR: I would immediately begin building a network of people who have similar interests. Graduate students need to reach out to groups

I really enjoy working with people at GPSA and I am humbled by the talent and skill that is in that office currently. DL: What are your thoughts about tuition increases? KR: I want to make sure we are as aggressive in our cost savings elsewhere in university budget, so the burden does not fall on students. There are some practices we need to discontinue. Currently we subsidize a south course which is $4 million in debt. That is money that could be going towards our academic mission, and it needs to be brought to attention. The University needs to be responsible for how they spend student and taxpayer money. DL: What do you like about UNM? KR: I like the people.

Pennsylvania students pay an average of $14,416 in-state tuition, the highest in the nation. Even the 5 percent increase recommended by the UNM regents is below national averages. For instance, Arizona and Georgia students are facing increases of more than 20 percent in their tuition costs, according to the report.

Still, tuition has increased by more than $1,700 in the past five years and out-of-state students pay $18,691 each year. Tuition increases may protect faculty and staff from pay cuts. The New Mexico Legislature saved more than $50 million by reducing its contribution to the Educational Retirement Board. As a result, state employees must pay an additional 1.75 percent into their pensions. However, UNMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s higher administration will cover the increase for all faculty and staff if the regents approve the ERB swap. The Board of Regents meeting is the beginning of the end of a yearlong budget process that has included recommendations from faculty, staff, students and higher administrations.

The Athletics Department is expected to receive a $385,000 cut. Students could also pay 31 cents less in fees. The approval could affect some student services because Schmidly said he would not give any student fees to the Campus Office of Substance Abuse and Prevention (COSAP). Not everything in the budget will be cut. The regents will look to approve about a $2.2 million increase to UNM Press, faculty promotions and more part-time faculty instructors. The debate surrounding tuition increases and employee pension pay will highlight the regents meeting. In-state tuition at main campus is $5,506 a year.

How to get a grasp on your rasp
Editor, It certainly appears that during this time in the history of our species, the government of, by and for the people is struggling to be born at various locations on the planet. At the same time, government of, by and for the people is on its death bed in the United States of America. The survival of government of, by and for the people in the United States of America is dependent upon the people in the United States of America becoming aware of its impending demise. People must also take the necessary action to restore the robust health of the middle class, which is now about to breathe its last breath. This will not be an easy task because government of, by and for the people in the United States of America is well on its way to becoming government of the few, by the few and for the few at the expense of the vast majority. Has anyone but me noticed that a form of dictatorship is almost in place in Wisconsin? It is essential that a sufficient number of us become aware whether our words and actions are hastening the death of government by, for and of the people or restoring it back to good health. And we must do what is required to ensure that our words and actions are, henceforth, dedicated to the latter of those two. In other words, if government of, by and for the people is to survive in this country, we must stop being part of the problem contributing to its demise and become part of the solution contributing to its survival.

“Go for cool comfort, if that feels better.”
by Peggy Spencer, M.D. Daily Lobo Columnist
“My throat hurts.” That is one of the most common complaints we hear at Student Health and Counseling, often followed by vivid descriptive imagery like “drinking acid,” “swallowing needles,” or “killing me.” Sore throat, being so common, deserves a review of its causes and cures. Dry air is a common culprit. If your nose is stuffed up, you will breathe through your mouth, scorching the tender tissues. Doing this all night in your sleep will guarantee a sore throat when you wake up. New Mexico’s famous dry winds add to the problem. Mucous drainage from the nose is caustic to the throat. A sore throat caused by drainage might be the first clue that you are getting a cold, even if your nose doesn’t seem runny. That is because only about a third of the mucous in your nose drains out the nostrils. The other two-thirds drains down the back of your throat. Drainage-induced sore throats usually last only a day or two and are followed by more classic cold symptoms like congestion and cough. Allergies harass the throat by the two methods above, plus direct irritation from the pollen, smoke or animal dander that you’re allergic to. It is spring allergy season now, so this kind of sore throat is common. Viruses and bacteria can assault the throat directly, causing swollen tonsils, inflammation, and what patients usually call “white stuff ” on the tonsils. This reminds me of the day I learned the hard way to be careful what words I choose
for my exam-room descriptions. After gazing into the inflamed depths of a young woman’s throat, I cheerfully informed her that her tonsils were covered with pus. She promptly swooned. In fact, that is what it is, but I don’t call it that anymore, at least not to a patient’s face. Peering into the depths behind your teeth is a natural impulse when your throat hurts. You grab a flashlight and head for the bathroom mirror. Here is what you’ll see. First, your tongue. Holy moley, what are those bumps? If you have never looked at the back of your tongue before, you might be alarmed by the rather large round bumps back there. Not to worry. Those are just taste buds. Next is the uvula, that little thing that hangs down in the middle. This odd little appendage mostly dangles from your soft palate, moving when you swallow or hit high C in your opera class. Uvulas come in all sizes and shapes. Some are even forked. The tonsils squat on either side of the throat, flanking the uvula. They can vary in size from person to person and week to week. Tonsils are actually part of our immune system, like outposts of our personal homeland security. They house white blood cells and other defenders. When the tonsils are challenged by infection, they swell up and send out the cavalry, a.k.a. that word that made my patient swoon. Tonsillitis is infection or inflammation of the tonsils. Some people have had their tonsils removed because of repeated bouts of tonsillitis, but those people can still get sore throats and throat infections. Finally, behind it all, the back wall of the throat. This is where you might see what is delicately called post-nasal drip. Sheets of thick, yellow, slimy … You get the idea. It might sound gross to you, but it is informative to medical professionals. A doctor’s job is to sort out the cause of your sore throat and advise you accordingly. A major question that needs answering is whether you have a bacterial infection. Streptococcus pyogenes is the name of a bacterium that causes what is commonly known as strep throat. The classic symptoms of strep throat are fever, severe sore throat, swollen red
tonsils with white infectious material on them and headache. The same symptoms can come from a virus infection, however, so we usually do a special test, swiping your throat with a soft swab, if we suspect strep. If you have a strep infection, you’ll need an antibiotic to clear it up. Without antibiotic treatment, strep can cause complications in the heart and kidneys, among other things, so it deserves investigation. Whatever the cause of your sore throat, there are some measures you can take to feel better. If your nose is congested, blow it, and rinse out your sinuses with a Neti pot. Consider taking a decongestant pill or a pain pill like acetaminophen. Suck on a lozenge. Drink warm tea or water with honey and lemon. My personal favorite is throat comfort tea, available in any supermarket and often made from the bark of a slippery elm tree. Or go for cool comfort if that feels better, with chilled drinks or a popsicle. Gargling with warm salt water will soothe the swollen tissues and help wash off the white stuff. Use no more than quarter teaspoon of salt in a cup of water. Humidify the air you breathe by running a humidifier, especially in your bedroom. Avoid irritants like cigarette smoke. Most sore throats are not serious and will resolve on their own. When should you see a health professional? If you have fever over 100 degrees, if the pain is so severe you can’t swallow liquids or can’t sleep, or if the cavalry is out in full force on your tonsils, you should get checked. If you are having trouble breathing because of the size of your tonsils, get yourself to the emergency room. Or if it just goes on too long and bugs you too much, let us help.

GPSA revamps old constitution by Kallie Red-Horse kallie69@unm.edu
After eight hours of deliberation at Saturday’s council meeting, GPSA approved proposed amendments to the GPSA constitution. Council Chair Megan McRoberts said 30 representatives worked to perfect the graduate student governing body’s constitution. She said the representatives’ dedication speaks to the document’s importance. “People were discussing differences between ‘ands’ and ‘ors’,” she said. “There was much discussion about wording that isn’t controversial, but it can go on for a really long time for a large group to come to an agreement on a single document.” GPSA included an item on the presidential election ballot for graduate students to vote on whether to approve the amended constitution. The election is April 4. The constitution includes 10 sections outlining the organization of executive, legislative, judicial and finance workings. GPSA held three open forums to clarify the document and take suggestions before the council’s approval. Council Chair candidate Sarah Coffey said previously that the current constitution is unsatisfactory, and change is crucial to the organization’s future success. McRoberts said that determining how to manage GPSA funding was challenging. “We are trying to support student organizations and
funding is the biggest way to access organizations,” she said. “The most substantive change was the creation of a finance committee specifically tasked with looking at the big picture and making sure funding processes align with one another and are accessible for students.” Representatives discussed the power distribution between the president and council. Representative Japji Hundal said it’s unnecessary for the president to have council approval for every action. “The president is the elected head of the organization,” he said. “I want this document to be fair to any future president because they are elected head of all graduate students, and then every decision they are making they have to come to the council for approval.” Presidential candidate Joseph Dworak said the president and council should focus on collaboration. “The organization should not be revolving around one person,” he said. “It is imperative for the president to listen to the council and not impede on their processes. If the executive is too aggressive and doesn’t allow council to have a voice, there is no balance. Right now it is very lopsided.” McRoberts said every article was discussed and approved. “I think our two goals of the meeting were to clarify the processes and to make the constitution a clear and accessible document,” she said. “I think we achieved those two things.”

lobo football
New coach, new attitude by Cesar Davila
hendrix@unm.edu
Congratulate
Twenty-one years removed from his college football heyday, George Barlow is still proving that he is a player’s coach, not just a coach who used to play. Just ask his players. Senior linebacker Carmen Messina said Barlow, the Lobos’ new defensive coordinator, brought optimism to the defensive unit, and he makes time to develop relationships with his players. “It’s just great to know that we’ve got a player’s coach back there,” Messina said. “He’s just going to bring a lot of blitzing and a lot more defensive style back to New Mexico football.” Barlow said building player relationships is crucial to developing a winning atmosphere. “I’m a guy who cares about the kids,” said Barlow, who is entering his third season with the Lobos. “I think once you care about them, you have a chance to get on them and motivate them and get them to play a little harder than they did last year.” Arguably a lot harder. The Lobos’ defense was 119 out of 120 teams in defense (469.0 yards

practice, but he can already see the change Barlow’s ushered in. “He just takes his experience in his playing days and his probably 20-plus years of coaching, and he’s seen it all, and knows it all, and he can break us down and teach us up so we can be great players,” Forrest said. Messina said that he noticed a different attitude from teammates. “Coach Barlow is one of the coaches that has tons of energy,” he said. “He’s a young guy, so he gets to run around with us. He’s always trying to run to the ball before we get there, just developing that energy during practice that we need as players.” Barlow said he has a tough task ahead of him, but he’s optimistic this season won’t turn out like the last two. “I expect us to be a lot better than we were last year,” he said. “I expect us to create more turnovers, be more physical and be faster to the ball.”

per game) and touchdowns allowed (69). This year, Barlow wants a faster, more physical, pressure-oriented defense — something the Lobos couldn’t accomplish the last two years in former coordinator Doug Mallory’s 4-3 defense. To achieve that, UNM will switch the to a 4-2-5 scheme. UNM’s defense returns nine starters, which Barlow said will help. Early in spring practice, he said it’s too early to see tangible improvements, and more than anything, he’s focused on players using proper technique. “Once guys have played, they have a chance for the game to slow down for them and be better players,” Barlow said. “We’ve got guys that have actually played and been in the fire.” Senior safety Bubba Forrest is one of the players that has been through the fire.

Monday, March 28, 2011 / Page 9
Team must rally to S E N I O R S ! Graduation Announcements win down the line & Diploma Frames by Brandon Call bcall@unm.edu
The UNM men’s tennis team made it look effortless — but in the wrong way. The Lobos dropped a 6-1 decision to Nebraska on Friday, before falling 5-2 to Fresno State on Sunday at the Linda Estes Tennis Complex. UNM has now lost three matches in a row — its longest losing streak of the year. Head coach Alan Dils said his team played half-heartedly. “Bottom line CSUF 5 is that we’re not playing our UNM 2 game right now,” he said. “Each match we are getting one or two guys to step up for us, but we’re not getting all six guys playing well at the same time. It’s a matter of focus and pride, and right now, we’re not putting it all out on the court.” The Lobos came out with vengeance on Friday against the Cornhuskers, capturing the doubles point. But UNM then proceeded to lose five of six singles matches. Junior Carl Ho, who was playing in the No. 4 spot, bounced Nebraska’s Tom Blackwell 6-3, 6-4 for the Lobos’ lone singles win. “We had a lot of missed opportunities this weekend,” Dils said. “We had match points in a few matches, and we failed to capitalize. Just like any sport, you’ve got to do the right thing in the clutch times. We were sitting back hoping for the other team to give it to us instead of taking it.” After dropping the doubles point to Fresno State on Sunday, the Lobos won back-to-back matches to take the 2-1 lead. Sophomore Jadon Phillips
— last week’s Mountain West Conference Player of the Week — downed Bulldog Remi Boutillier 6-1, 6-1 in under an hour for the first Lobo win. Phillips said that he was determined to even the match. “My opponent came out slow,” he said. “After losing the first game, I went on a streak and stayed on top of my game. I wanted to be the first one off the court, and I didn’t want to let (Boutillier) back into the match.” Following Phillips, sophomore Conor Berg captured a 6-0, 7-5 victory against Fresno State’s Siddharth Alapati to put UNM up 2-1. But that’s as close as the Lobos came, dropping the next four matches en route to the 5-2 loss. “If we want to be successful, all six of us are going to have to remain positive on the court,” Phillips said. “One guy can’t carry the entire team. We need everyone to show up and compete, one through six.” UNM will put its perfect conference record on the line against San Diego State. The Aztecs enter the contest 2-11 on the season, having faced 11 nationally ranked teams. “It’s conference time, and you can’t take any team lightly,” Phillips said. “We need to focus on coming out with a lot of energy and getting the job done.”

ROAD TO REDEMPTION
Not-so-heavy hitters starting to find their rhythm by Ryan Tomari
rtomari@unm.edu When the UNM baseball team finally got back to the NCAA baseball tournament for the first time since 1962, the Lobos were heavy hitters. Early on, the new-look Lobos struggled with the sticks, averaging just 4.4 runs per game in their 0-8 start to the year. And after sweeping UNLV 9-7 Sunday in a late-inning slugfest at Isotopes Park, the Lobos have gotten their swat back. “I’m glad, I’m glad, I’m glad and I’m glad,” head coach Ray Birmingham said. “It’s good, and it’s there. But momentum and confidence are huge, and we needed some confidence-building.” Just one year removed from leading the country in hitting, the Lobos mysteriously couldn’t put aluminum to ball, much to Birmingham’s chagrin. Last year, led by first baseman Justin Howard — who led the team with a .456 batting average and drove in 72 RBIs — UNM hit .346 as a team. The Lobos drove in 494 runs and hit 41 home runs. With one returning starter — infielder Alex Allbritton — UNM could not produce enough runs to win until it beat the University of Texas-San Antonio, 13-6 on March 4. “You know, every hitter here is a new hitter except for Alex Allbritton,” Birmingham said. “And a couple of guys have been sitting on the bench; they have faced some pretty tough pitching, and we’ve played a hard schedule.” Since the two-game series against UTSA, UNM won 9 of 16 games and found success at the plate. UNM now averages two more runs (5.9) per game. Freshman third baseman DJ
Dylan Smith / Daily Lobo UNM’s Quay Grant warms up before stepping up to the plate Sunday at Isotopes Park. The Lobos found a hot streak as of late, winning their past 6 games including a three-game sweep over UNLV this past weekend. Peterson said that lately the team has played more relaxed. “We’ve just pieced together some hits,” he said. “Guys stayed back and just did their job. We were able to put it through the four-hole or maybe a little dink, and guys got it done.” Even better, the Lobos’ suddenly come-to-life offense has been paired with solid defense. Closer Gera Sanchez pitched every game in the three-game sweep against the Rebels.
None was bigger than his eighthinning appearance during Sunday’s matinee. Sanchez got the final out of the eighth inning and finished off UNLV in the final frame, sitting down three straight batters. Sanchez put up goose eggs in 1.2 innings of work and didn’t allow a hit, run or walk. Sanchez faced identical situations on Friday and Saturday. In Game 1, Sanchez replaced
starter Jake McCasland in the eighth and struck out UNLV’s second baseman Hunter Beaty before getting pinch-hitter Marvin Campbell to ground out for 3-1 win. Once again on Saturday, Sanchez was called upon late. Sanzhez closed out the Rebels’ lineup in order to secure the Lobos’ 7-6 victory. The closer now has four saves on the season. Sanchez said that the Lobos need to stay on their midseason roll.
“We’re playing better defense,” he said. “I feel that we’ve been working harder as a team and playing more together, sharper and seeing the ball more.” What they’ll also be seeing: Two nationally ranked opponents in Arizona on Tuesday and a threegame series against TCU starting April 8. There’s only one thing that they need to do, Birmingham said. “Win,” he said.
Sanchez suppresses late Rebel uprising by Levi Lewis
llewis14@unm.edu It appears the growing pains are starting to subside. The UNM baseball team used a late-inning rally, and closer Gera Sanchez got the final four outs to help the Lobos overcome UNLV 9-7 Sunday at Isotopes Park. The win completed a three-game sweep over the Rebels and improved the Lobos to 9-15 after they lost the first eight games of the season. Sanchez closed UNM 9 all three games over the weekend, UNLV 7 getting the save each time. Head coach Ray Birmingham said that the reliever’s extended work was impressive, if not exhausting. “It’s Gera Sanchez’s weekend here

at the University of New Mexico,” Birmingham said. In Game 1, freshman pitcher Jake McCasland held UNLV to one run in 7.1 innings of work, and the Lobos won 3-1. Saturday was a different storyline, with the Lobos engaged in a backand-forth battle. The Rebels roughed up Lobo pitcher Bobby Mares in the top of the second inning and led 4-0 before the Lobos rallied compliments of clutch hitting and a couple UNLV errors. UNM squeaked out a 7-6 victory in Game 2. Since starting the season 3-15, the Lobos have won six straight games, and Sanchez will likely be a deciding cog in the Lobos’ upcoming eightgame road trip. UNLV jumped out to an early 4-1 lead Sunday, but quickly saw its lead disappear as the Lobos rallied in the sixth inning. The Rebels called on reliever Brady Zuniga to replace starter Tyler Iodence in the bottom of the sixth inning, and the Lobos strung together big hits and took the lead, which they held for the rest of the game. “It took some growing pains,” Birmingham said. “They’re getting better. They’re still not there, and they’re a long ways away, but they’re getting there, and every kid on this

UNM won the game 9-7 and swept the Rebels by winning all three games over the weekend. team is capable of doing something special.” Capable they are, as Sunday’s rally proved. Catcher Mitchell Garver singled to right field to start the bottom of the sixth that started UNM’s rally. Back-toback doubles from DJ Peterson and Quay Grant cut the Rebels’ lead to 4-3.
UNM then loaded the bases after Sam Wilson walked and Alex Allbritton was hit by a pitch. Kyle Stiner’s sacrifice fly plated the runner to tie the game at 4-4, before Ben Woodchick followed up with a single that gave the Lobos a 5-4 lead. The Lobos added three runs in the seventh, UNLV came within a run 8-7
in the eighth inning, but Garver’s solo home run sealed the deal for UNM. “We were shooting for a sweep, and I had the ball in my hand in the ninth inning, and we were up and after getting that final out. It was great,” Sanchez said. “Hopefully we keep winning and stay hot and continue to play good baseball.”
