The University of New Mexico has a solid baseball program, ranked as high as 24th in national polls heading into this weekend. The Lobos scored eight runs in their game on Saturday night, banging out 16 hits and pushing across a run in six of nine innings -- a solid offensive output! Oh, and New Mexico also lost that game by 25, because their opponent, Dallas Baptist University, scored 33 times.
Testify, o immutable box score:

DBU scored at least two runs in every inning, and scored at least four runs five separate times -- and that's just the start of it. Thanks to DBUPatriots.com, we've got some more fun facts. Take a deep breath:
- Both the 31 hits and the 33 runs set a school record, though not by as much as you might think -- the previous record was 31 runs, set back in 2007.
- The Patriots increased their team batting average by 40 points (!). 
- DBU was 19-for-34 with runners in scoring position, which simply cannot be a real thing.
- Darick Hall went 5-for-5 with two homers and six RBIs ... while also pitching five innings and picking up the win.
And, if you're wondering what all that looks like put down on paper:

Not sure what's left to say after all that. Seriously: 33 runs!
