Stevens: Ray Birmingham Adds Dave Martinez to Lobo Baseball StaffLobo assistant Dave Martinez had a few setbacks and took a few detours in his path to a college degree and on his path to a heartfelt career -- in baseball. He sidestepped football and left a job in golf to return to the game he loves. "When baseball is in your blood, it never leaves you," said Martinez, who is taking over as the pitching coach in Ray Birmingham's UNM program. "The character of this program and how it pushes the right things is one reason I was so excited to become a Lobo. This program emphasizes making Lobos better people."

Lobo Baseball Players Spend Their Summers Playing Nothing Other Than...BaseballWhile many spring athletes enjoy a few weeks off at the end of their season to recover, the Lobo baseball team relinquishes even the thought of a vacation. Instead of suiting up in swim trunks, 10 Lobos are suiting up in baseball uniforms and competing all summer long. Because the Lobos' spring season ended on June 6 and collegiate summer ball seasons start as early as May 28, some of the players had to replace swimming laps with overlapping schedules.

Stevens: History-Making Lobos Plan To Get BetterYou start the story of the 2010 New Mexico Lobos with a 48-year-old memory, a 48-year-old reminder of what Lobos have been reaching for since 1962 - the NCAA postseason. The reach finally turned into a grasp. In 2010, that barrier, that stain on a proud program, that closed door, came crashing down as Ray Birmingham's Lobos joined the elite of NCAA baseball by drawing an at-large bid to the NCAA Championships. "We had a bunch of blue-collar Lobos commit to a dream and to an idea and they made Lobo history," said Coach Birmingham.
