- JOURNAL STAFF AND WIRES

SAN DIEGO — Host and first-place San Diego State stunned New Mexico (8-13, 6-8) with a six-run bottom of the ninth inning — without recording an out — and beat the Lobos 10-9 Friday in game one of a Mountain West Conference doublehead­er at Tony Gwynn Stadium.

In the late game, San Diego State completed the sweep with a 5-4 win in 10 innings.

In the opener, the Aztecs (15-6, 10-4) had seven of their 19 hits in the last inning with a walk in the mix. Terrell Hudson (0-3) took the loss, since his baserunner is the one who scored the game winner. Riely Egoff started the nightmaris­h ninth, and Bobby Meza was left to finish it. Harry Fullerton and Jarrett Gonzales both had two hits and drove in three runs for UNM.

SOFTBALL: The 2-25 Lobos’ miserable season continued with their fourth time being no-hit Friday. Fresno State pitcher Hailey Dolcini struck out 18 batters over the seven innings, only an error preventing a perfect game, as the Bulldogs beat UNM 6-0 in game one of a doublehead­er. In the second game, FSU won 9-1.

SOCCER: At Air Force Academy, Colo., the Lobo women (6-1, 6-1 MW) got goals from senior Alexa Kirton and junior Alesia Garcia in a 2-0 win over Air Force (2-5, 2-5). UNM allowed only seven shots in its fifth shutout in seven games. .

VOLLEYBALL: UNM concludes its regular season with a 1 p.m. match at the Pit vs. Utah State. No fans will be allowed due to pandemic-related public health restrictio­ns. UNM is trying to snap a five-match losing streak, which was extended Thursday in a 3-0 home loss to Colorado State.
