Snowflake earned a pair of region wins last week before stepping out of the region where they took a home field loss to Valley Christian on Friday.
Their week started on Tuesday with a hard fought 5-2 home field win over Winslow. Snowflake scored 3 runs in the bottom of the first but didn’t score again until the sixth frame with their 2 final runs. Snowflake did hold the Bulldogs without a run until the top of the sixth where they also scored twice.
Kelsey Scarbrough homered with 2 of those RBIs. Kloe Burden went 1 for 3 with a triple. Lyla Craner was 1 for 1, Brooklynn Lovingood went 2 for 3, Addie Coor 1 for 3, Riley Perkins 2 for 4, Paisley Solomon 1 for 3 and Brittyn Butler was 1 for 2.
Kashlynn Cantrell worked all seven frames in the circle giving up just the 2 runs on 4 hits with 11 strikeouts and only 1 walk.
Playing in St. Johns on Thursday, the Lobos played solid through five innings leading 5-0, but in the top of the sixth they exploded for 8 additional runs, ending the game early with a 13-0 win over the Redskins.
Cantrell and the defense behind her had another good day. She allowed only 6 hits with 3 strikeouts and 1 walk.
At the plate Scarbrough went 2 for 3 with a home run and a double. Kinslee Claridge was 3 for 4 with a double. Cantrell went 3 for 5 with a double. Lovingood went 2 for 4 with a double. Brodie Cates was 1 for 3, Riley Perkins 1 for 3, Burden 1 for 2, and Coor went 1 for 3.
Friday the eighth ranked Lobos hosted the fourth ranked Trojans from Valley Christian. The Trojans built an early lead with 3 runs in each of the first two innings. They added single runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings and led 9-0 before Snowflake scored their only 2 runs in the bottom of the sixth. Valley Christian tacked on one final run in the seventh to win the game 10-2.
Snowflake was held to just three hits in the loss. Kelsey Scarbrough went 2 for 3 and Kashlynn Cantrell went 1 for 3.
Cantrell pitched all seven innings, allowing 10 runs on 12 hits with 4 strikeouts and walked 3.

Five of their final six games will be on the road over the next two weeks of the regular season. Their only home game in that stretch will be next Thursday when they host Blue Ridge.
