Thursday’s trip to Payson ended in a 6-7 road loss. The game started well enough, with Snowflake building a 3-run lead through the first three innings. The Longhorns matched that total in the fourth, then pulled in front by 1 in the fifth. They extended that lead to 4 runs with 3 in the sixth. Trailing 7-3 the Lobos rallied with 3 runs in the top of the seventh before the door was shut leaving them with a 1 run loss.

Hosting Show Low in an east region clash on Friday the Lobos came out on top in a 1 run decision with a comeback in the bottom of the seventh inning.
Show Low led 1-0 after the first. Snowflake edged in front with 2 in the third inning. The back-and-forth game continued with Show Low going on top 3-2 with 2 in the fourth. They extended that lead to 4-2 with a run in the top of the fifth. Snowflake trimmed to a 4-3 lead with their own fifth inning run. Trailing by that margin going into the bottom of the seventh the Lobos rallied late scoring the 2 needed runs to win the game 5-4.
Coor went 3 for 3 with a double. Perkins was 3 for 4. Cantrell went 1 for 4 with a double. Adalyn Rodriguez was 1 for 1 and Kesley Scarbrough 1 for 3. Cantrell worked all seven innings in the circle allowing 4 runs on 10 hits with 3 strikeouts and no walks.
