The Lobos picked up three more victories last week, pushing their winning streak to five games and their overall mark to 7-4 on the season. Snowflake won a close game with Blue Ridge 3-2 on Tuesday in Lakeside, then followed that up the next day with another one-run victory over Payson 6-5 on Wednesday. Friday’s game with Round Valley at Eagar was much easier as the Lobos prevailed 13-3 in their final game prior to spring break. They will return to the diamond on Tuesday, March 31, with a home game against rival Show Low.

Last Tuesday’s pitchers duel with Blue Ridge saw the Lobos come from behind in the top of the seventh inning. Blue Ridge led 2-1 heading into the seventh when the Lobos took the lead with a pair of runs, then held the Yellowjackets in the home half of the frame.

Cadeon Ervien went 1 for 3 and scored. Tyler Hanson was 1 for 4 with an RBI. Dalon Reidhead went 1 for 3. Jake Lyman was 1 for 3 with a double, an RBI and scored once. Tyler Claridge went 1 for 2 and Tanner Crosby was 1 for 3.

Hanson went the distance on the hill, giving up two runs on three hits with seven strikeouts and four walks.

Snowflake also trailed Payson the following day before rallying in the fifth inning to get the win. The Longhorns led 4-3 through four only to see the Lobos push across three runs in the fifth. Both teams collected nine hits.

Hanson went 3 for 4 with two RBIs. Tarren Reidhead was 1 for 3 with a double and an RBI. Matt Lamb went 2 for 3 with an RBI. Dalon Reidhead was 1 for 2. Claridge went 1 for 4 with a double. Crosby was 1 for 3.

Lyman pitched all seven innings, allowing five runs on eight hits with five strikeouts and walked four.

Snowflake grabbed the early lead at Round Valley on Friday with three first inning runs, then tacked on five runs in the third and closed out the game in six innings with a final run in the 10-run win.
