Baseball Clinches Series with 9-1 Win
May 09, 2026 | Baseball
SPRINGFIELD – Brock Lucas took a no-hitter into the seventh inning and Taeg Gollert drove in five runs for the second consecutive game to lead the Bears to a 9-1 victory over New Mexico State Saturday at Route 66 Stadium.
Â
The Bears improved to 29-17 overall and 17-9 in Conference USA play while moving to 20-3 at home, reaching 20 home victories for the first time since 2017.
Â
Mo State led 7-0 after five innings, with Caden Bogenpohl drawing his school-record 155th career walk in the second and then stealing home for a 1-0 lead. Bogenpohl broke Bill Mueller's career mark held since 1993 in 59 fewer games than Mueller.
Â
The Bears broke it open with four in the third, getting an RBI single from Curry Sutherland and three-run home run by Gollert to make it 5-0.
Â
After loading the bases in the fifth, Gabe Roessler walked to force a run and Jax Ryan added an RBI single for a 7-0 lead.
Â
NMSU (19-30, 8-18) hit a leadoff single to break up Lucas' no-hit bid in the seventh and scratched one run across against the senior, who moved to 5-4 with 6.1 innings and five strikeouts against two hits allowed.
Â
Gollert struck again in the seventh with a two-run homer, making him the 11th player in school history with 40 career dingers thanks to his third career multi-homer game.
Â
Sutherland added another record when he was plunked by three pitches, tying seven others for the Missouri State single-game mark and pushing the team total to 81 to pass the previous season standard of 80 set in 2004.
Â
Tyler Charlton (0.2) and Charlie Spoonhour (2.0) finished things on the mound to preserve the 9-1 win.
Â
The Bears and Aggies conclude the series on Sunday at 10:30 a.m. at Meadow Park due to a conflict with the Springfield Cardinals game on Sunday afternoon. Admission is free to the home finale.
