The Lady Tigers hosted class AAAA Santa Fe High Lady demons at Jim Wade field Friday afternoon for a double header.

Game one turned out to be a big win for the Lady Tigers as they started out with a five run inning and followed that with an eight run rally in the third. The Lady Tigers held Santa Fe High to only five runs three in the second and two in the third.

In the bottom of the fifth the Lady Tigers added another two runs and ended the game in the fifth under the 10 run rule.

Game two however was a different story as the the Lady Demons took the early lead and followed it up with a five run rally. With a 6-2 lead and strong defense until the fourth where Raton pulled out a four run rally to come within one at 6-7.

But it wasn't over yet. It was 8-6 Lady Demons going into the seventh where a strong defense by the Lady Tigers held the bats at bay and no runs. The Lady Tigers then put one around the bases but just couldn't quite get any one else to home plate leaving the score 8-7 Lady Demons with the win for game two.
