Snowflake finished the regular season in Holbrook on Monday, where they handled the Roadrunners 12-1 pulling away in the later innings.
That win set the Lobos up as the 12th seed in the 3A play-in game on Wednesday and their opponent was the 21st seeded was Chinle. The play-in games give teams ranked lower a last chance to earn their way into the state playoffs.
Sadly, for Lobo fans, the Wildcats did just that. They upset Snowflake 6-5 bringing an abrupt and unexpected end to Snowflake’s season. Chinle was a solid team this season, going 19-8 overall and had lost to Snowflake back in March by just four runs so they had confidence in the play-in game match up.
Snowflake ends their season with an overall record of 15-9-1. They were 13-5 in power point contests and they finished second in the east region standings behind region winner Show Low.
