Aggie Bats Come Alive in Victory Over Southwest

Six Aggies submit multi-RBI performances in midweek matchup.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. – NM State exploded for nine runs in the first inning and never looked back on Tuesday at Presley Askew Field at Johnson Stadium, rolling to a 19-7 win over Southwest. The Aggies tallied 15 hits and scored in six different innings, posting their highest run total since 2024.
 
The opening frame set the tone as NM State sent 12 batters to the plate. Bryce Campbell, Chris Daniels and Cole Rogers each delivered early RBIs before Brandon Clizbe and Aidan Taclas capped the outburst with a three-run home run and a two-run home run, respectively, to give the Aggies an early 9-0 advantage.


 
After Southwest struck for four in the third, the Aggies countered with two more in the fourth behind an RBI groundout from Meluskey and an RBI single from Clough. NM State added two in the sixth on Clough's two‑run homer, three more in the seventh highlighted by a two‑RBI single from Rogers, and two in the eighth to stretch the margin to 19–6.
 
Southwest plated one in the ninth, but nine Aggie arms combined to allow just two earned runs to help guide the Aggies to their second win of the year.
