The No. 6-seed San Manuel softball team reached the 2A State Semifinals after an 11-inning, 2 – 1 victory against No. 3 Morenci in the quarterfinals last Friday at the Rose Mofford Softball Complex.
Unfortunately, the Lady Miners season ended with a 2 – 0 loss to No. 2-seed and eventual 2A State Champion Benson last Saturday night.
In the win against Morenci, sophomore Andrea Guererro and senior Dionne Ruiz, who had two hits in the game, including a triple, each had RBI-hits to give the Lady Miners all the runs they would need for the win.
Junior Nikki Baldenegro did her part on the mound, pitching all 11 innings and giving up only a run on six hits while fanning a whopping 19 Wildcats’ hitters.
