SAN JOSE, Calif. – Micky Thompson pitched a complete game gem while Dalton Bowling hit a two-run home run and had an RBI double to lead San José State baseball (22-30, 16-13 MW) in a 5-1 win against New Mexico (27-24, 16-13 MW) from Excite Ballpark Friday evening in the second of a three-game series.
- LHP Thompson threw his first ever complete game with seven strikeouts, one run and only five hits on the way to his fourth win of the season
- The 131 pitches Thompson threw were a career-high and the most under a Brad Sanfilippo team at SJSU
- Andrew Mitchel was the last Spartan to throw a nine inning complete game when he struck out 18 at Air Force on March 8, 2019
- For Bowling, it's his 13th home run of the season which is a career-high and he has 35 for his career which is good for second in SJSU history
- Bowling went 2-for-4 with his team leading 18th double of the season
- Bowling now has an SJSU career-best 158 RBIs

- Sebastian Orduno went 2-for-4 and also scored a run on a wild pitch in the sixth inning
- Nathan Cadena had a hit and scored a run
- This is the fourth series win for the Spartans in conference play this season
- If the Spartans win on Saturday they are in the Mountain West Championship tournament
- If the Spartans lose and if Fresno State loses at Air Force, the Spartans are in the tournament
- If there is a three-way tie between Fresno State, Nevada and SJSU, SJSU is in the tournament
- If the Spartans end Saturday tied with just Nevada, they are out of the tournament
- If SJSU wins and Air Force loses on Saturday, the Spartans will earn a share of the Mountain West regular season title
