Tuesday’s game at Round Valley included five scoreless innings between the two teams, but Snowflake’s six second inning runs were more than enough to secure a 7-1 win. The Lobos finished with seven hits and made three errors, while the Elks had five hits and three errors. Dallin Fusselman worked all seven innings on the mound, facing 25 batters. He gave up one earned run on five hits with seven strikeouts and no walks. At the plate, Bradley Clark went 1 for 3. Dallon Reidhead was 1 for 1 with a double. Tanner Crosby was 1 for 3. Tyler Hanson was 1 for 2. Nate Kelley was 2 for 3 with a double. Hunter Bauer went 1 for 4. The Lobos stole seven bases, with Kelley and Bauer each getting two. Wednesday’s home game with St. Johns started well as the Lobos garnered four runs in the first. They added two more in the second to lead 6-0. They never completely gave up the lead, but St. Johns battled back to tie the game in the top of the sixth. Snowflake countered with two runs in the home half of the sixth, then held in the seventh to secure the 8-6 win despite getting outhit. St. Johns finished with 16 hits and made just one error. Snowflake had nine hits and played error free. At the plate Caedon Ervien went 1 for 3. Clark was 3 for 3 with a double and a triple. Crosby was 1 for 3. Kelley was 2 for 3.

He gave up six runs, five earned, on 15 hits with eight strikeouts and walked one. Garrett Jackson pitched one inning, striking out three of the four batters he faced while giving up one hit. Playing at home again on Friday, the Lobos found themselves on the opposite end of another 8-6 final score. Snowflake took the early lead with five runs in the third inning. Payson fought back to tie the game with one in the fourth, and two each in the fifth and sixth. Both teams held in the seventh, forcing extra innings. Each team extended the game again with single runs in the eighth. A scoreless ninth led to the 10th, where the Longhorns pushed across two runs to win the game.
