LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - The UNLV baseball team (10-13) returns to Las Vegas and Earl E. Wilson Stadium for a three-game, Mountain West series against the New Mexico Lobos. The Rebels are coming off a five-game road trip that saw them play three at San Diego State and two more at No. 3 Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas.
UNM comes to town after splitting a midweek series at home to Grand Canyon. The Lobos lost the first game, 6-1, but won the second by a 19-run differential, 22-3. That victory snapped a six-game losing skid.
