Roswell Invades Raton to Continue Winning Ways

Roswell  11
Raton      4

Raton took an early lead but just couldn't hang on to it as the Invaders kept on striking wood with base hits that brought the runners on around.

Roswell kept pounding the ball not deep but simply in and through the holes in the Osos defense.

Raton didn't help themselves either as a couple of wild throws allowed Roswell runners to advance. On the other side of the ball some of Raton's heavy hitters were stifled at the plate. The players were unable to hit solid balls out of the park tonight yet when contact was made several fell into Invader gloves for the out.

Raton will host Taos Tuesday night for another northern division game. This will be the first time these two teams have met this season.
