The Chinle baseball team ran its 3A North Region record to 6-0 on Monday afternoon.

On a frigid spring evening with wind chills near 30 degrees, the Gallup Lady Bengals (6-7, 1-0) opened their District 1-4A title defense with a narrow 10-9 victory over the Kirtland Central Lady Broncos (8-10, 0-1) on Thursday night.

The Page softball team were tested early, but the Lady Sand Devils put the hammer down during last Friday’s doubleheader win over the Window Rock Lady Scouts.

Spurred by a 16-hit effort, the Aztec Lady Tigers defeated district rival Kirtland Central in the fifth-place game of the Kristin Griego Rio Rancho Tournament on Saturday.

It took five innings for the Window Rock softball team to finally get its bats going.
The Lady Scouts (6-4) batted in 10 hits in the fifth and six frames and exploded for nine runs to upend the Tohatchi Lady Cougars 11-8 on Thursday afternoon at Window Rock High School.
