LAS CRUCES, N.M. – NM State Athletics is thrilled to announce a generous and transformational donation from Mike and Judy Johnson to the NM State Baseball program. This significant contribution will be dedicated to facility improvements aimed at enhancing the experience for student-athletes, coaches and fans alike.
 
With this gift, NM State Baseball will embark on critical upgrades that will modernize training spaces and improve player development resources at Presley Askew Field.
 
"This extraordinary generosity from the Johnsons will have a lasting impact on the NM State Baseball program," said NM State Acting Director of Athletics Dr. Amber Burdge.

Mike and Judy Johnson are longtime supporters of NM State Athletics and expressed their enthusiasm for supporting the program's growth.
