The 2013 New Mexico baseball team has 12 players from the state of New Mexico. It is no secret coach Ray Birmingham wants to take local kids all the way to Omaha. Ever since he got to UNM, he has been a big advocate of recruiting the best local talent New Mexico has to offer. Nearing 1, Head coach Ray Birmingham has 986 career wins spanning at three programs spanning a quarter of a century. He won 53 games in two seasons at College of the Southwest, 765 games in 18 years at New Mexico Junior College, and 166 in his first five seasons at UNM, which are the most ever in a coach s first half-decade at UNM. Shoutout to shutouts... From Feb. 17 through Feb. 23 Lobo pitchers did not allow a run over 21 consecutive innings. For the final 5 1/3 innings during UNM s 9-1 victory over Oklahoma St., through the 7-0 shutout of Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, and for the first 6 2/3 innings against Iowa, Lobo pitchers held the opposition scoreless. It was the longest scoreless innings streak by Lobo pitchers since at least the 1981 season as complete box scores are unavailable prior to that year. Protection is spelled G-A-R-V-E-R... In 2013 teams figure to pitch around junior third baseman DJ Peterson quite a bit. He has already been intentionally walked four times this season, and each time senior catcher and fellow All-American Mitch Garver came through with a run-scoring hit.

The Cornhuskers have struggled against a brutal schedule to open the season under second-year head coach Darin Erstad. They are currently 0-7, but each game has been played on the road and five games have come against nationally-ranked oppenents (two at Cal St. Fullerton and three at Texas). They are hitting.234 as a team and the pitching staff has an ERA of 7.11 Ṡophomore second baseman Pat Kelly, who was a Freshman All-American in 2012, and senior outfielder Chad Christensen have been two bright spots for the Nebraska offense, hitting.393 and.321, respectively. Kelly was particularly hot in Nebraska s most recent series against Texas as he went 5-for-12 (.417). Junior righty Christian DeLeon, slated to start Saturday s contest, has been the most effective starter for the Cornhuskers this season. In two starts he has an ERA of 2.53 and has held opponents to a.243 batting average against. One area where Nebraska s pitching staff has done a good job is keeping the ball in the yard. As a group they have allowed only two home runs in 57 innings. The Cornhusker D has been solid as well, committing only three errors in 245 chances. SHOUTOUT TO SHUTOUTS... From Feb. 17 through Feb. 23 Lobo pitchers did not allow a run over 21 consecutive innings. For the final 5 1/3 innings during UNM s 9-1 victory over Oklahoma St., through the 7-0 shutout of Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, and for the first 6 2/3 innings against Iowa, Lobo pitchers held the opposition scoreless. It was the longest scoreless innings streak by Lobo pitchers since at least the 1981 season as complete box scores are unavailable prior to that year.

Senior Mitch Garver was named one of 30 candidates for the Senior CLASS Award. An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, the Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.

Carman (7 IP, 0 R, 3 K). SENIOR LEADERSHIP... Senior shortstop Alex Allbritton was not expected to play in the season-opening series against Oklahoma State due to a broken index finger on his throwing hand. However, after freshman Jared Holley suffered a concussion he played the final 18 innings of the series and hit.429 with two RBI. He also handled eight chances in the field and did not make an error, despite a bulky splint on his broken finger. HE S THE BAUM... Junior college transfer Kevin Baumgartner had a solid Division I debut against Oklahoma State on Feb. 16. Coming on in relief of starter Anthony Consiglio the lefty allowed only one run on three hits with six strikeouts. His work allowed the Lobos to build a 14-6 lead by the time he exited the game in the eighth inning. FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING... Ten Lobos saw their first Division I action in the series against Oklahoma State: Kevin Baumgartner, A.J. Carman, Anthony Consiglio, Jonathan Cuellar, Sam Haggerty, Chase Harris, Jared Holley, Tyler Kamtz, Jered Meek, and Tyler Spencer. GOLDEN SPIKES ALERT... Senior catcher Mitch Garver and junior third baseman DJ Peterson were two of 50 players named to the Golden Spikes Award watch list by USA Baseball. The Golden Spikes Award is given annually to the best amateur baseball player in the country. In 2012 Peterson was one of 30 semifinalists for the award and won the fan portion of the voting, earning nearly three times as many votes as the next closest player. GARVER, PETERSON, PADILLA NAMED PRESEASON ALL-AMERICANS... Senior catcher Mitch Garver, junior third baseman DJ Peterson, and sophomore outfielder Ryan Padilla all earned preseason All- America honors. Garver and Peterson were named by the NCBWA, Collegiate Baseball newspaper, and PerfectGame.org. They were the only pair of teammates to be named First Team Preseason All-American by the NCBWA and Collegiate Baseball. They are also the first Lobo teammates to earn First Team Preseason All-America status the same season. Padilla was named to Collegiate Baseball s third team. This is the first time the Lobos have had three Preseason All-Americans in one year since 2007 when Jordan Pacheco, Daniel Stovall, and Ian Hollick were all honored. STOP WATCH... Senior Hobie McClain was named to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association watch list for the Stopper of the Year Award, which is given annually to the best reliever in Division I baseball. McClain is one SUMMER FUN... Several UNM players had solid summer league campaigns following the 2012 season: senior outfielder Luke Campbell and sophomore catcher Alex Real were both named All Stars in the Northwoods League; left-handed pitcher Will Mathis earned Texas Collegiate League Pitcher of the Week honors on Aug. 1 after he hurled 10 shutout innings in a 1-0 victory; Mitch Garver led all catchers in the prestigious Cape Cod League with a.298 batting average; and DJ Peterson led Team USA in home runs and RBI in 16 games against international competition. NEARING 1, UNM head coach Ray Birmingham is only 14 wins shy of 1,000 for his collegiate coaching career, which has spanned a quarter-century. He spent his first two years at College of the Southwest, the next 18 years at New Mexico Junior College, and is now entering his sixth year at the helm of the Lobos. He has averaged over 39 wins per season in his career overall, and 33 per season at UNM. His 166 wins in his first five years is the most a Lobo coach as ever had in their first half a decade on the job, narrowly beating out the 165 Vince Cappelli won from , and it has come against the five toughest schedules in program history. ONE OF THE BEST... Over the past three seasons only 25 teams in the country have played in an NCAA regional each year and the Lobos are one of those teams. Even more impressive is that UNM is one of only six schools out of those 25 that is not in a BCS conference. The other five schools include perennial powers Rice and Cal St. Fullerton, as well as Coastal Carolina, Kent St., and Oral Roberts. BACK-TO-BACK CHAMPS... After an unexpected run to the 2011 Mountain West Tournament title, the Lobos returned in 2012 as a favorite to take home the championship. After sharing the regularseason crown with TCU, the Lobos swept through the tournament once again to earn their second straight automatic berth (and third straight overall) to an NCAA regional. The Lobos have now won seven straight games at the MW Tournament after only winning eight total the five previous years. In 2012 they outscored their opponents 40-5 over three games, securing their place as the best team in the Mountain West Ṫhe Lobos dominated right from the get-go last year, opening the tournament with a 13-0 victory over the host UNLV

They followed that up with a hardfought, come-from-behind 5-2 win over TCU. Then in the championship game they set numerous tournament records during a 22-3 blowout of San Diego State. PLAYING THE CREAM OF THE CROP... Once again head coach Ray Birmingham has challenged his team with a very tough schedule. UNM will host 2012 NCAA tournament participant Missouri State for a doubleheader, play a home-and-home with Rio Grande Rival New Mexico State, and travel to play two games at Arkansas, which made the College World Series last season and is ranked #1 in several preseason polls. The Lobos also play one game against both Oklahoma and Arizona State, ranked as high as 14th and 16th, respectively, in the preseason. Throw in six league games against MW newcomer Fresno State, who also made an NCAA Regional last season, and the Lobos face a daunting task as they try to advance to the NCAAs for a fourth consecutive season. There s nowhere to hide on our schedule once again, Birmingham said. I think we play a tougher non-conference schedule than many SEC, Big 12, and Pac 12 teams. I m sure our non-conference schedule will be ranked at least in the top 50 in the country, if not the top 40. In all, the Lobos play 13 games against teams that made an NCAA Regional in WE ARE NEW MEXICO... The 2013 New Mexico baseball team has 12 players from the state of New Mexico. It is no secret coach Ray Birmingham wants to take local kids all the way to Omaha. Ever since he got to UNM, he has been a big advocate of recruiting the best local talent New Mexico has to offer. COACHES PICK LOBOS TO WIN MOUNTAIN WEST... The UNM baseball team was voted an overwhelming favorite to win its second straight Mountain West championship Feb. 8 as the preseason coaches poll was released. Head coach Ray Birmingham s Lobos received five first place votes and 35 points overall to finish well ahead of second place San Diego State. The Aztecs received the other first place vote to finish with 26 points and narrowly edge out Mountain West newcomers Nevada (23 points) and Fresno State (22). UNLV (13) and Air Force (7) were voted fifth and sixth, respectively. UNM returns six starters from last season s team that went 37-24, won both the MW regular-season and tournament championships, and advanced to an NCAA regional for the third straight season. Included in that group are 2012 Co- Mountain West Players of the Year Mitch Garver (.377, 10 home runs, 57 RBI) and DJ Peterson (.419, 17, 78). I think we have a target on our back from the last two years, Peterson said referring to the fact that the Lobos won the 2011 MW Tournament as well. I think every team in the Mountain West is going to bring a little extra edge (when facing us). We are going to stay composed and keep doing what we do.... Hopefully that will result in a Mountain West championship at the end of the year. The Lobos also dominated the preseason All-Mountain West team as Garver, Peterson, Alex Allbritton, Ryan Padilla, and Hobie McClain were all honored. Garver, Peterson, and Allbritton were first team All-MW selections last season, while Padilla, the only sophomore on the preseason team, was a second team choice Ḟresno State was the only other school to place multiple players on the team as every MW institution was represented. Despite the team s recent success over the last few seasons, however, the Lobos aren t satisfied with anything less than a trip to Omaha, Neb., and the College World Series. I obviously think our expectations are to go to Omaha, Peterson said. I don t think we can cut ourselves short with the amount of talent we have and (our) great coaching staff. I think there are no other expections (except) going to Omaha. Allbritton agrees. I think (we re) going to be a really strong team, he said. This is my fourth year with the program, and we have as good of talent as ever, I think. This is a close group of guys. The Lobos open their season on Friday, Feb. 15 at Isotopes Park against the Oklahoma State Cowboys. We are excited, Birmingham said. We are ready to go out and prove something. Rk.

In 2013 ESPN Radio The Team will once again broadcast Lobo baseball The Team will air over 30 Lobo games this year, including road series at Texas Tech and preseason No. 1 Arkansas, as well as the Mountain West Tournament. A list of the games being broadcast can be found on GoLobos.com. There will, however, be a new voice for the Lobos as Robert Portnoy is joining The Team to handle the play-by-play duties. Portnoy most recently was the voice of the Albuquerque Isotopes from and has called games at every minor league level. He has also called professional basketball, college volleyball, and high school sports. LOBOS ON TV... The Lobo baseball game at Texas Tech on April 30 will be broadcast live on Fox College Sports SEASON PREVIEW By Richard Steves - Senior Writer, GoLobos. com In massaging out a budget for 2013, Lobo Coach Ray Birmingham probably was tempted to toss a few extra bucks into a certain line item: baseballs. His Lobos surely will knock the cover off more than a few baseballs this season. These guys are mashers. They put a serious hurt on the leather. But Coach B also might need a few extra baseballs in the bullpen. He has a host of strong-armed hurlers hitting the 90 mph range, but those Lobo arms might lose a few balls in the distant mesa well, at least until they zoom in on the strike zone. Again, the mound is the key to the Lobos season and part of that key is how quickly the New Mexico pitching staff embraces the strike zone and the fine art of D-I pitching. We can hit, said Birmingham. That s not even an issue. The pitching will be a big difference for us this year. Our pitching has a chance to be really good or who knows? Birmingham is being honest and fair in assessing his pitching. He lost the heart of the pitching staff from It s not that Birmingham has a shortage of talented arms in his bullpen. He is loaded and if these arms live up to their potential, this pitching staff might be better than But there are question marks that form Birmingham s who knows? There is only one Lobo returning who won more than two games in 2012 Josh Walker, who was 8-3 last season. UNM lost 21 wins in Austin House, Gera Sanchez and Rudy Jaramillo. A lot of new Lobos have some proving to do. Birmingham is wise enough to know you have to wait and see what happens. He also is experienced enough to know good arms when he sees them. Our pitching staff has more arms, more arm strength, more pitches than ever in the history of this school, said Birmingham. But we have to figure a few things out and some of these guys have to figure things out upstairs (mentally). The guys with division-one experience are few. I think one of the biggest changes is we have a very, very high caliber pitching coach in Dan Spencer. We have someone riding the hitters at the same level I m riding the hitters and that s huge. Spencer has experience both in teaching the game and in recruiting the game. He spent the past four seasons as the Texas Tech head man. He spent 11 seasons at Oregon State and helped the Beavers to back-to-back national titles in 2006 and Spencer inherits a Lobo bullpen bulging with talent, but needing to get its act in order upstairs. And several of these Lobo arms need some D-I exposure. The top returners statistically are Hobie McClain (1.80 ERA), Alex Estrella (2.89), Sam Wolff (5.52) and Walker (8-3, 4.19). Jake McCasland, a twoyear letterman, is recovering from elbow surgery and could be throwing in April. But Spencer has to get some juice, strikes, innings out of more than a few firstyear (freshmen/transfers) Lobos including Drew Bridges, A.J. Carman, Tyler Spencer, Kevin Baumgartner, Tyler Rowe, Victor Sanchez, Anthony Consiglio, Taylor Duree and Jonathan Cuellar. Heck, Spencer should be putting in for overtime with all the arms Birmingham is stuffing into the New Mexico bullpen. Our pitching staff is better than I ve ever seen here, said Birmingham. We have a ton of guys who can pitch. But we haven t found our Friday Night guy yet. We need that one big arm to step up. When it comes to stepping up to the plate, the Lobos are loaded there, too. However, this is D-I proven stuff. The Lobos return six starters from last year s team including the obvious headliners in Mitch Garver and Peterson, the 2012 Co-Mountain West Players of The Year. These two Lobos have been blanketed by preseason All-American accolades. Peterson hit.419 last year and Garver pounded the ball at a.377 clip. The Lobos also return preseason All-American Ryan Padilla (.353 avg.) and three-year starter, All-MW shortstop, Allbritton. Alex Real, a sophomore who had a MW record seven RBI in the 2012 title game, returns looking to pad his.271 batting average of Outfielder Josh Melendez, MVP of the MW Tournament last season, returns with his.347 batting average from last season. Senior outfielder Luke Campbell missed the 2012 season where he was expected to be the team s cleanup man, but he s back, and the Lobos also have John Pustay as a designated hitter and outfielder. Birmingham is so loaded behind the plate that he can afford to push Garver to first base and alternate those positions between Garver and Real. Alex has a chance to be as good behind the plate as Garver, said Birmingham. Alex will be an All-American before he leaves here. Birmingham s infield has freshman Sam Haggerty at second, Allbritton at short and Peterson at third base. The outfield goes Padilla (left), Melendez (center) and transfer Chase Harris (right). Harris, a speedster, played at College of Southern Idaho and was the Region 18 Player of The Year. Campbell and Pustay (.291 avg. in 2012) will get time in the outfield and also at the plate in the DH role. If the Lobos opposition has an ace on its staff, they might want to throw him against these bombers. Simply put, the Lobos have proven hitting, talented but unproven arms, solid defense and a Ray Birmingham swagger. They expect to win. HITTING In 2012 the Lobos ranked fifth in the country with a.326 team batting average. The Lobos should be primed for another Top-5 finish because they return each of their top four hitters from last season: junior third baseman DJ Peterson (.419), senior catcher Mitch Garver (.377), sophomore outfielder Ryan Padilla (.353), and senior outfielder Josh Melendez (.347). Offensively we can match up with anybody in the country, head coach Ray Birmingham said. The Lobos will also welcome back senior Luke Campbell, who was the team s third leading hitter in 2011 but missed last season due to a facial fracture he suffered a week before the season started. Junior John Pustay (.294), sophomore Alex Real (.271), and senior Alex Allbritton (.251) also return to form what should once again be a potent UNM lineup. PITCHINIG STAFF Unlike the hitters, the Lobo pitching staff took a hit following last season. UNM returns only two pitchers (Josh Walker and Sam Wolff) who threw more than 30 innings last year. Gone are two weekend starters who are now pitching professionally (Austin House and Gera Sanchez), as well as a weekday starter (Rudy Jaramillo), and the Lobos saves leader last season (Bobby Mares). Head coach Ray Birmingham is confident in the staff he possesses, however. We have a staff full of guys who can really pitch, he said. Last year was the start of that and it is even better now.... Our bullpen is unbelievable. (Sam Wolff has) a 98 mph arm.... Josh Walker is pitching really well, we have some nice junior college transfer, (Anthony) Consiglio and (A.J.) Carman, that are throwing really well. The number of quality pitchers on this pitching staff is night and day (compared to previous seasons). CATCHER Behind the plate, the Lobos have the top catcher in the Mountain West, if not the entire country, in Mitch Garver, one of the reigning Mountain West Co-Players of the Year, a finalist for the 2012 Johnny Bench Award, and a preseason first team All- American. Backing him up is sophomore Alex Real, who had a breakout summer league campagin. Playing for the Eau Claire Express in the Northwoods League, Real made the All Star Game, in which he hit a home run, despite not playing the position at all during his freshman season with the Lobos. He finished his summer with five home runs, 14 doubles, and 22 RBI. Alex has a chance to be as good behind the plate as Garver, said Birmingham. Alex will be an All-American before he leaves here.

11 New Mexico Baseball Notes Page 11 LAST TIME OUT... LAST TIME OUT... The Lobos won their opening-game of the Kleberg Bank College Classic over host Texas A&M-Corpus Christi before dropping a pair of close, hardfought games against Iowa and No. 16 Oklahoma. Friday, Feb. 22, UNM 7, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi 0 The University of New Mexico baseball team (2-2) shutout the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Islanders (3-3) 7-0 Friday night in both team s first game of the Klerberg Bank College Classic at Whataburger Field. Lobo starter A.J. Carman was excellent throughout tossing seven innings of shutout baseball, allowing four hits, one walk, and striking out three while earning the first win of his career. Carman was only in trouble twice. Once was in the second when he worked around a one-out error and bunt single. Then in the fourth the Islanders had two men on base with one out, but Carman got the next two batters out via a strikeout and a groundout, respectively. Over his last three innings he faced the minimum nine batters. Seniors Gabe Aguilar and Hobie McClain came out of the bullpen to finish the shutout as they combined to allow only one hit over the last two innings. Lobo pitchers were at their best when men were on base as they held the Islanders to one hit in 13 chances with runners were on base. They were even better once runners reached scoring position as they heled TAMU-CC hitless in 10 at bats in those situations. The Lobos struck early scoring two runs in the top of the first. Senior Josh Melendez led the game off with a triple to centerfield, which was followed by a one-out intentional walk to DJ Peterson, his fourth walk in as many games. Mitch Garver then singled to left to score Melendez. Garver is now 4-for-4 with six RBI when batting after a Peterson intentional walk. The second run of the opening frame came when Alex Real reached base on an error by the Islander s second basemen, which allowed Peterson to score. Peterson finished the game 0-3 with two runs scored. The Lobos added three more in the top of the third. Luke Campbell recorded his fourth RBI of the season with a double down the left field line scoring Peterson from first. Later in the inning junior transfer Chase Harris singled up the middle to knock home both Campbell and Real. In the fourth a Campbell groundout scored Ryan Padilla making the score 6-0, Campbell finished the game 1-5 with two RBI and a run scored. In the fifth, the Lobos tacked on their seventh run when Harris reached by on an error and later scored on a passed ball. Melendez, Real, and Alex Allbritton all recorded two hits to lead UNM. Allbritton, despite playing with a still-healing broken right index finger is now hitting.455 on the season to lead the team. Saturday, Feb. 23, Iowa 6, UNM 2 (10 innings) The University of New Mexico baseball team dropped its second extra-inning game of the season Saturday, losing to the University of Iowa (2-3) 6-2 in 10 innings in the Kleberg Bank College Classic. The Lobos (2-3) jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first but were unable to score the rest of the game and support junior Kevin Baumgartner s fantastic start, which was the first of his career. It was the second straight stellar performance for the junior out of Phoenix who allowed no runs on four hits in 5 2/3 innings while striking out two. In one start and one relief appearance this season Baumgartner has allowed only one run in 10 2/3 innings with as many strikeouts (eight) as baserunners allowed. Both Lobo runs in the first came with two outs. Chase Harris was on second when Mitch Garver singled him home. It was the senior s team-leading seventh RBI of the season. Garver proceeded to steal second and scored when Luke Campbell singled to right. After that, however, the Lobo bats were held in check by the Hawkeyes starter Matt Dermody and reliever Taylor Kaufman as they scattered seven hits over the next nine innings. In the seventh Iowa tied the game off the Lobo bullpen and also snapped the Lobo pitching staff s streak of 21-straight scoreless innings. Despite losing the lead, it looked like the Lobos might still pull out the win as they threatened in both the eighth and ninth innings. In the eighth they had runners on first and second with one out, and then the bases were loaded with two outs, but pinch hitter Erik Suarez struck out to end the inning. In the ninth freshman Sam Haggerty continued his hot play at the plate by leading off with a double. However, after a failed bunt attempt Josh Melendez hit a comebacker to the pitcher and Haggerty was thrown out at third to effectively end the threat. Iowa then went on to score four times off three Lobo relievers in the 10th to earn the win. Sunday, Feb. 24, No. 16 Oklahoma 10, UNM 8 The University of New Mexico baseball team saw its late-inning struggles continue Sunday as they dropped to 2-4 with a 10-8 defeat to the 16th-ranked Oklahoma Sooners (9-0) in the final game of the Kleberg Bank College Classic. UNM rallied from an early 5-1 deficit to take an 8-5 lead in the seventh inning, but the Sooners scored two of their own in the bottom half of the frame and added a three-run homer in the eighth to secure the victory. DJ Peterson fell a single short of the cycle as he went 3-for-5 with three runs and two RBI. Chase Harris also finished with three hits and hit his first career home run. Alex Real also hit his first homer of the season for the Lobos. Peterson opened the scoring with a solo home run, his second of the season, in the first, but Oklahoma scored five times in the bottom of the frame with the help of three Lobo errors. Starter Sam Wolff settled in after that and did not allow another run in his final three innings. Tyler Spencer and Alex Estrella came in out of the bullpen to hurl a scoreless inning each. During that time the Lobos began to chip away at the lead İn the fourth Peterson led off with a double and scored on a single by Luke Campbell. In the fifth UNM used a twoout rally to add two more. Freshman Sam Haggerty, who was moved up to second in the lineup before the game, singled and scored on a triple by Peterson. Mitch Garver then knocked him home with a single to right to cut the deficit to 5-4. The Lobos tied the score in the sixth, again using a two-out rally. Harris reached on a bunt single and Alex Allbritton was hit by a pitch. Josh Melendez then walked on four pitches to load the bases for Haggerty. The freshman surprised the entire Oklahoma defense by laying down a perfect bunt to third base for a single that scored Harris to tie the game. In the seventh the Lobos struck for three more. Garver led off with a double, moved to third on a flyout by Campbell, and scored on a wild pitch. Real and Harris then each hit solo shots later in the inning to make the score 8-5. After that, however, the wheels fell off. Oklahoma struck for two in the bottom of the seventh and UNM went down in order in the eighth. Then it looked like the Lobos would take the lead into the ninth after Anthony Consiglio recorded the first two outs on only four pitches, but a single and then a walk issued by Will Mathis put the go-ahead run on board. Josh Walker was then called on to pitch to Oklahoma s shortstop, Jack Mayfield. Mayfield only saw one pitch but he hit it out of the park to provide the final scoring of the afternoon and send the Lobos to their second straight defeat.

That is the day Lobo baseball history was made when the hard-throwing lefty from Columbia, Ill., tossed the only documented 9-inning no-hitter in school history. UNM s all-time strikeout king walked two, struck out 11 and allowed just one Arizona runner to advance to second base (on a walk and a fly out in the sixth). The Lobos won the game 1-0 with an unearned run in the seventh inning. UNM s Mike Connell threw a 7-inning no-hitter on March 24, 1977, against New Mexico Highlands. Similar greatness has been flirted with by eight other Lobo hurlers by allowing just one hit in a game.
