(Anchor) WHAT IS IT THEY SAY...THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME? YEAH...TRY TELLING THE U-N-C BASEBALL TEAM THAT.  THEY'VE HAD A TOUGH HOMESTAND AS THEY DROPPED THEIR THIRD CONSECUTIVE SERIES, LOSING TWO GAMES TO ONE TO NEW MEXICO STATE. THE BEARS WON THE SERIES OPENER FRIDAY AND LOOKED TO CARRY THAT MOMENTUM INTO SATURDAY. (vo) . U-N-C TIED THE GAME THREE DIFFERENT TIMES, WITH THE FIRST COMING IN THE BOTTOM OF THE FIRST INNING. AFTER DRIVING IN SIX IN GAME ONE, COLE MALTESE CONTINUED HIS STRONG SERIES WITH AN R-B-I DOUBLE. EVAN JOHNSON FOLLOWED WITH A TWO-RUN SINGLE TO TIE THE GAME AT THREE. THE BEARS TIED THE GAME AGAIN IN THE THIRD, THIS TIME ON A TWO-RUN HOME RUN BY ALEX KIEL. WITH N-M-S-U LEADING NINE TO FIVE IN THE EIGHTH, U-N-C TIED THE GAME FOR A THIRD TIME WITH A FOUR-RUN INNING. DEAN LAWSON’S THREE-RUN SHOT OVER THE LEFT-FIELD WALL TIED THE GAME AT NINE. THE GAME WENT TO EXTRA INNINGS, AND THE AGGIES SCORED THREE IN THE 11TH TO TAKE THE LEAD. THE BEARS COULDN’T FIND THE MAGIC TO TIE THE GAME AGAIN, AND N-M-S-U WON 12 TO NINE. IN THE RUBBER GAME ON SUNDAY, IT WAS A PITCHING DUEL BETWEEN STARTERS ALEX PINEDO AND KEENAN LUM. JACK PAULEY TIED THE GAME AT ONE WITH AN R-B-I SINGLE IN THE THIRD INNING, AND THAT SCORE HELD UNTIL THE SIXTH INNING. AFTER THE AGGIES TOOK A TWO TO ONE LEAD, PAULEY TIED THE GAME AGAIN, THIS TIME WITH AN R-B-I GROUNDOUT. BUT N-M-S-U TAGGED THE BEARS’ BULLPEN FOR FOUR RUNS IN THE NINTH INNING TO EARN THE SIX TO THREE WIN.  THE BEARS FELL TO 21 AND 19 AFTER THE SERIES LOSS. THEIR FIVE-GAME HOMESTAND CONCLUDED TUESDAY WHEN THEY TOOK ON METRO STATE.
