The Lander Lobos Babe Ruth squad made the short trip across the valley earlier this week for a doubleheader with the Riverton Babe Ruth Red Sox and Black Sox.
The opening game with the Red Sox was dominated by passed balls from both teams and ended in a 5-5 tie ended by the time limit on doubleheaders.
In the late game, against gathering thunderheads, the Black Sox rolled over the Lobos 16-3.
Brenner Colman and Paxton Stevens combined for 10 strikeouts against the Lobos in the game. Both gave up just a single hit, and Stevens allowed just two walks in an excellent outing on the mound.
