Three other Bears contributed a home run in the four games played.

About the Lobos
The New Mexico Lobos began their season in Surprise, Ariz., playing in the Sanderson Ford College Baseball Classic. Like UNC, the Lobos began the season going 2-2 in their opening weekend. The Lobos season opener was against #25 Oregon State, who defeated New Mexico 11-4. New Mexico picked up a pair of wins over BYU in a Saturday double-header, winning 2-0 and 5-4, respectively.

What's on Deck
Another weekend series is on deck for UNC Baseball, this time the Bears head north to Boise to play a four-game series Feb. 28-March 1. The Bears will be the first team to play a Boise State baseball team in 40 years, as the Boise State Broncos have resurrected their baseball program and begin play for the first time since 1980 this season.
