    The Luna Community College baseball team is close to accomplishing what many thought was unthinkable a month ago — finish the season with a .500 record and make the playoffs.

    The Rough Riders overwhelmed Lubbock Christian junior varsity over the weekend 13-3, 10-0, 31-11 and 13-0 to bring their record to 19-23 on the year. They now have won seven straight and are seeking to sweep El Paso Community College this Friday and Saturday on the road.

  • ‘Pokes finish sweep

    Chris Prokupek scattered four hits and two walks over six strong innings Sunday, leading the Highlands Cowboys to a 6-3 win over Colorado School of Mines in the finale of their four-game Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference baseball series.

    Prokupek carried a shutout into the seventh inning but the Orediggers managed to load the bases with the help of a walk, an error and a hit batter.

    Reliever Oscar Almeida, who’d go on to collect his 10th save, got the next two outs to rescue the ‘Pokes, who led 2-0 at that point.
