The #11 New Mexico Highlands University baseball team solidified their first place position atop the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference on 3/13 as they took two out of three games from the Roadrunners of Metro State College. The Cowboys started out the series slow as they dropped the first game 12-8 but would rebound in the Saturday double header as they swept the Roadrunners by scores of 8-4 and 4-1 respectively. The Cowboys are off to a great start as they are now 16-5 on the season and 7-2 in RMAC play. The Cowboys will take the field again on 3/19 as they take on the Thunderwolves of CSU-Pueblo for game one of a four game series.
