The Bows opened a four-game series against New Mexico State in impressive fashion last night at Les Murakami Stadium, posting a 4-2 victory behind a solid pitching performance by Jared Alexander.
The right-hander allowed a run and six hits while walking one and striking out seven over eight innings before closer Jayson Kramer came in to seal the deal in the ninth.
Offensively, freshman second baseman Greg Garcia led UH with two hits, a run and an RBI as the Bows improved to 14-20 overall and 6-7 in the WAC.
The two teams meet again tonight, and close out the series with a double-header set for a 1 p.m. start on Saturday.
Meantime, the UH football team continues spring drills at the adjoining fields on the South Campus athletic complex.
Generally, with a huge void at quarterback following the departure of the record-breaking Colt Brennan, much of the attention would be focused on the competition for that starting job.
But with a pair of junior college QBs not due in until late summer, the quasi-competition between titular No. 1 Inoke Funaki and designated No. 2 Tyler Graunke, who is coming back from an academics-related team suspension, isn't as compelling as it could be.
