It was a sunny breezy day in Raton for softball and it turned out to be a good day for the Lady Tigers as they took both games of the double header against Robertson. The wins push Raton into the lead in district 2AAA softball.
Raton's Breannon Trujillo started pitching the game for Raton and was followed by Natasha Archuleta with Shania Dorrance pitching game two. Having three or more pitchers will help Raton compared to relying on one or maybe two pitchers in the past. Even so it will be hard to fill the shoes of Krista Fissel who for three years was the only pitcher Raton had.
With two players out for the season, Brylee Medina and Rhiannon Barela, and the added pitchers the Lady Tigers are seeing players move around field giving them an added dynamic. The ladies also have a lot of young players that if they stay together will make for a strong team in the coming years.
Saturday the ladies too the early lead in game one but Robertson threatened with a rally in the fifth which tied the game at seven and then gave them the lead briefly before the Raton bats connected and pulled out the game.
Game two was all Raton. Breannon Trujillo hit a bases loaded infield home run in the bottom of the sixth.

Raton was in both games until late in the game when it seems one inning just does them in. Raton also went through their pitching staff which includes a couple of eight graders Dylan Lemons and Jason Parker.
The Boys games started late at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday allowing a couple of the Robertson players to take ACT tests. In game one Raton and Robertson were tied at five after five yet a rally and three run homer by Ryan Tafoya allowed Robertson to pull it out and win that game.
Again in the second game Raton stayed in it until the sixth when another rally by Robertson added four in the sixth and seventh for the win.
