The Indian Wells Elementary School Red softball team fell to Wide Ruins 12-5 on April 13. The game started off hot with Tianna Lester, Bowdie Yellowhair, Heidi Yazzie, Mareevah Belin and Kehng Begay all getting hits and scoring a run. Kehng Begay collected six strikeouts, but the Roadrunner defense could not keep Wide Ruins from scoring 12 runs. Wide Ruins has a very small, but powerful team. Eight-year-old Andre was a phenomenal catcher, went 3 for 4 at the plate and scored a run. Their pitcher, Gabby, had six strikeouts against the Roadrunners. The previous day, the Red squad was edged by Second Mesa, 8-7. Second Mesa started the game off strong, scoring four runs in the first inning to lead 4-2.
