It was a breezy cool day in Raton as the girls took to the field against the Estancia Lady Bears for their first district ball game of the season and only their second home game as they have been on the road for most of the season.
it was a slow start for the Lady Tigers as Estancia came out and scored in the first two innings to make it a 3-0 game. Not to be held back Raton tapped the bats and posted three runs in the second to tie the game.
Loading the bases Raton began their scoring rally in the fourth that would put them up 7-3. They would post another three runs to make it a 10-3 ball game finishing the fifth inning. Again the Lady Tigers held strong and prevented the Lady Bears from scoring in the top of the sixth. Raton again put another two runners across home plate to extend their lead to 12-3 to end the sixth. Again Raton held strong as Natasha Archuleta came on strong and struck out two and ended the game with a another mark in the win column at 12-3.
