For whatever reason, it's the away team that's had the advantage when Las Cruces and Alamogordo meet (four straight games heading into this one) and that held true again on Tuesday. The Bulldawgs fell 5-1 to the Tigers. The Bulldawgs were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Tigers apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in May of 2025.
