On Saturday, The Lady Loboes defeated the number seventh ranked 5A, Lubbock Coronado with the score of 3-1.

"A bad call by the umpire ended up costing us our only run.  We scored off a walk given to Stacie Fuentes, and in that allowed Lupe Navarrette to score in the 4th.  Then Raquel hit a triple to score Brianna Chaney and Heather Schuler in the 5th.  We had good hits by Ashton Jarrett and Dina Ortiz to round off our hitting," Coach Kasey Kinney said.

The Lady Loboes pounded the El Paso Hanks 5-1 in their last game of the tournament.

Hawkins hit another triple while Schuler hit two singles, Chaney, Jarrett, Fuentes and Kaitlin Mitchell each hit singles.

"Overall, the games were solid.  We learned to overcome out errors, and were able to bring out record to 5 and 2," Kinney said.
