It was all Osos for the first eight innings of the ball game Thursday night in Raton as the Osos pulled out a a 13-11 lead.

Four Osos pitchers later the Cowboys would see their first lead of the game as a 7-run rally put them over the top. In the bottom of the ninth Ryan Barban made it on base by a walk and was the only Osos to see a base as the game came to an end.

Early in the game the Osos looked like a team that had played together the throws were made and the ball was caught. Cowboys were wrangled down in the pickle and double plays were perfected. Had AJ Doyle not bobbled the ball at second the Osos could have had their first triple play. Doyle did hang on to the ball and it wasn't dropped yet the call was safe.

Going into the fifth inning the Osos were up by six when the Cowboys from Alpine pushed foru runs across the plate. Yet the Osos retaliated with three. The Cowboys managed to ink out four more runs, two each in the sixth and seventh closing the lead to only three going into the ninth.
