Baseball Drops Pitching Duel to New Mexico State

EDINBURG – Junior Chase Adams struck out a career-high nine batters, but The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) baseball team fell to New Mexico State 4-2 on Friday at UTRGV Baseball Stadium.
 
Adams (5-5) pitched seven innings, allowing four runs (two earned) on seven hits without walking anyone.
 
NM State (36-18, 17-6) scored on a first inning solo home run by Caleb Henderson, a seventh inning solo home run by Nick Gonzales, and a sixth inning error that brought in two runs.
 
Jonathan Groff (10-2) retired the first 12 UTRGV (22-31, 7-16 WAC) hitters he faced. UTRGV strung together its first three hits with two outs in the seventh, when, with sophomore Coleman Grubbs at second base, senior Ivan Estrella hit an RBI-single, junior Ryan Fish singled, and senior Isaac Gonzalez hit an RBI-double to knock out Groff and bring UTRGV within 4-2.
 
Brock Whittlesey recorded the final four outs for his 10thsave.
