Hawaii catcher Alan Baldwin runs down New Mexico catcher Chris DeVito in the second inning of a game today at Les Murakami Stadium. Hawaii lost 18-0.

Carl Stajduhar and Jared Mang homered and Scottie Graham drove in a career-high five runs for New Mexico in an 18-0 win over Hawaii this afternoon at Les Murakami Stadium.

The 18-run loss was Hawaii’s worst at home as an NCAA member and the most runs UH has given up at home since losing 23-11 to UCLA in 1997.

UH (2-3) also tied a program record with 17 walks allowed.

Colton Thompson (1-0) allowed two hits in six shutout innings with one walk and five strikeouts to earn the win for the Lobos (2-1).

Austin Isenhart earned a three-inning save in an 18-run game, striking out four and allowing one hit.

Josh Pigg (0-1) gave up eight runs — three earned — on seven hits in 3 2/3 innings to take the loss in his first UH start.

Pigg walked five batters and reliever Patrick Martin issued eight free passes in two innings.

Bryce Ah Sam walked four in two innings.

Jacob Sheldon-Collins, Eric Ramirez, Alex Sawelson and Casey Ryan singled for Hawaii’s four hits.

Hawaii hadn’t lost a game by 18 runs since dropping a 22-1 contest at UC Irvine in April 1974.

The series finale is Monday night at a special 5:35 p.m. start time.

    Coach Trap should be the next UH coach to go. I don’t understand why any UH fans support him….he’s done nothing but field mediocre to bad teams since his arrival…

      Saturday night’s game: What was the reason for taking out the right handed pitcher who got two outs in the top of the ninth and then bring in another right hand pitcher to face the left handed batter? I thought he was going to a lefty out of the bullpen when he changed pitchers but no it was a righty.

    Trap is terrible. Loses to UH Hilo and now getting cracked by New Mexico 18-0. Also the scrub scoreboard operator at the Les Murakami needs to show the fricken replays after any close calls at UH’s home games. Went there on Friday night and what good is the monitor (that finally works after 7 seasons of nothing) if the inept scoreboard operator won’t press the replay button? Loyal UH fans deserve better especially now that they raised the price of general admission by 40% this season.
