The NM State baseball team was held in check for most of Friday night’s series opener at Presley Askew Field at Johnson Stadium, falling 10-2 to nationally ranked UTSA.
The Roadrunners built an early cushion with two unearned runs in the second and a four‑run fourth, then added insurance with runs in the seventh, eighth and ninth.
The Aggies were limited to two hits through eight innings before finally breaking through in the ninth after a brief pause in the game due to a power outage. Noah Massey singled to start the frame, and Jonatan Clough followed with an RBI triple to put NM State on the board. Chris Daniels then added a run‑scoring groundout to make it 10–2, but the comeback ended there.
Clough’s triple marked his second of the season and moved the Aggies’ season total to eight after entering the weekend with a nation’s leading seven. For true freshman Noah Massey the pinch-hit single was his first collegiate hit.
NMSU finished with five hits, including base knocks from Tommy Meluskey, Bryce Campbell, Dane Woodcook and Clough.
Bradyn Barnes took the loss, allowing just one earned run over three innings while recording a career-high tying four strikeouts.
The Aggies fall to 6-3 at home, while Friday represented their first loss in the month of March.
