Mountain West Softball Tournament • Friday: UNM plays an elimination game Friday at 4 p. m. MDT against either Nevada or UNLV.

The winner plays a second elimination game immediately following. • Streaming: All MW Tournament games are streamed on TheMW. com UNM catcher Jessica DeLeon belted a two-out grand slam over the left field wall in the top of the seventh inning, putting the Lobos up four heading into the bottom of the inning.

The bases-clearing homer — which came against former teammate and UNM transfer pitcher Natalie Fritz — put UNM on the brink of a monumental upset over nationally-ranked Grand Canyon in the Mountain West Softball Tournament. The elation subsided as the MW regular season champion Lopes methodically put together a five-run bottom half of the frame for a heart-wrenching 7-6 win over the Lobos at Hixson Softball Park in Reno. It had been a pitcher's masterclass through six innings.
