Baseball: Aggies Fall in Season Opener at Baylor

WACO, Texas – On Opening Day, NM State traveled to Baylor Ballpark on Friday, Feb. 13, where a historic individual effort proved too much to overcome in a 15-2 defeat. The Aggies hung around early behind a strong start on the mound from Colton Sneddon but were unable to counter Baylor’s two big scoring frames in the third and fourth.

NM State opened the 2026 season with two scoreless innings on both sides, as Colton Sneddon delivered a pair of shutout frames, allowing just one hit with no walks. The Aggies put a pair of runners aboard early but couldn’t capitalize before Baylor struck in the form of five runs in the bottom of the third, including the first of three grand slams from Baylor first baseman Tyce Armstrong.
