Playing in Show Low on Thursday, the Lobos fell behind 6-0, with the Cougars scoring two runs in each of the first three innings. Snowflake temporarily cut that lead in half with three in the fourth, but Show Low answered with four in the fourth to extend their lead to 10-3. They went on to win the game 11-4.
Snowflake welcomed in Thatcher on Friday afternoon and the Eagles left for home with a 14-4 five-inning win. The game started well enough with Snowflake scoring single runs in the first two innings. Thatcher countered with four in the top of the third, taking the lead for good. They added five in the fourth and another five in the fifth. Snowflake’s two runs in the fourth weren’t enough to extend the game past five innings.
With the back-to-back losses, the Lobos fell to 12-9 overall on the season. They are now 9-3 in power point games and enter this week ranked 13th in the 3A rankings. They have three games again this week, then will close out the regular season on Monday next week. All four games will be at home. After hosting Alchesay on Monday this week, they will see Holbrook on Thursday, then welcome in Blue Ridge on Friday. Show Low will be their final regular season game next Monday.
