Demonettes sweep Lady Jaguars SCOREBOARD The New Mexican
Here we go again. Santa Fe High’s softball team survived its life on the playoff bubble last season by landing a No. 15 seed in the Class AAAA State Tournament. This year, same thing. Maybe. The Demonettes wrapped up their regular season with a doubleheader sweep at Capital on Friday, winning by scores of 16-0 and 20-0 in five innings. They are 14-12 overall and 6-6 — good for third place — in District 2AAAA. “It’s a lot like last year,” said Sig Rivera, Santa Fe High head coach. “What hurts us now is our strength of schedule. I think we have enough to get in, but I don’t know.” The Demonettes are ranked 17th in the latest AAAA power poll. Only 16 teams go to state. Alex Russell did her part. The freshman pitched two complete games, shutting down the Lady Jaguars on three hits and four strikeouts in the opener and two hits with another four Ks in the nightcap. She also went 3-for-5 with a pair of RBIs in the second game. Jackie Martinez was 8-for-8 on the day
with two home runs and three RBI in the opener and two doubles and a grand slam with seven RBI in Game 2. Xeala Porras was 4-for-4 in Game 1. She had two home runs and four RBIs. her sister, K.K., was 2-for-5 with a home run and double in Game 2.

Sandia PreParatory 3 In Albuquerque, the visiting Lady Horsemen nailed down second place in District 5AAA with a convincing sweep of the Lady Sundevils. St. Michael’s finished the regular season 16-10 overall and 5-4 in the district, second only to Albuquerque Hope Christian. “I would be quite surprised if we don’t get a top-eight seed,” said Rosanne Noedel, Lady Horsemen head coach. Allie Berhost was 2-for-2 with a home run, double and four runs scored in the opener, then was the winning pitcher in Game 2 after striking out eight in seven complete innings. The Lady Horsemen had a big day from Erin Torrez. She was a combined 6-for-7 with a home run, double, eight runs scored and four RBIs in the doubleheader.
Briona Vigil had five hits in the two games, including a home run and five RBIs in Game 1.

St. Michael’S 9, aBq. Sandia PreParatory 3 St. Michael’S 9, aBq. Sandia PreParatory 3 In Albuquerque, Marc Brandt and Marcus Sandoval picked up wins on the mound as the visiting Horsemen won both games by identical scores. In truth, Game 2 saw them build a 13-3 lead in the seventh inning but it was halted due to darkness. By rule, the score reverts to the most recently completed full inning. St. Michael’s (19-7, 5-4) finishes third in 5AAA behind Hope Christian and Sandia Prep. Brandt pitched into the seventh inning in Game 1, allowing two earned runs and striking out six. He also had a home run and finished 3-for-5. Zach Bobchak was 2-for-4 with an RBI. A six-run second inning erased an early 2-1 Prep lead. The Horsemen never trailed in the nightcap. Sandoval went six innings and was 2-for-4 with two RBIs. Carlos Acosta was 4-for-5 with two RBIs.
State: Boys, girls singles semis begin play Continued from Page B-1 to encourage me, saying ‘We won ours, we won ours, you can do it,’ ” she said. Knowing the difference between playing another match and resting until the fall energized Martinez to a 6-0 victory in the decisive third set. Across the court from where Martinez was celebrating, Forrest White nonchalantly walked off the court, having no clue that he had just sealed yet another appearance for the Los Alamos boys in the state tournament. “It feels good you know, I’m just glad I could help out the team,” White said, who knocked off Española’s Jeremiah Maestas 6-2, 6-1 from the No. 6 singles position. The Hilltoppers swept the Española boys 5-0, but it wasn’t quick, nor easy. Los Alamos’ Nikita Belooussov and Dalton Smith were locked in a battle with Adrian Martinez and Josh Martinez, not related, at the No. 1 doubles spot. Nearly two hours and 15 minutes later, the Hilltoppers duo was victorious 5-7, 6-4, 6-1. “It’s a mental game more than anything else, once you understand that you can take the reigns and propel yourself forward,” Smith said. “We’re relieved for sure.” There were a few other surprises in Day 1 of the 2AAAA individual tournament played in the morning. Most of the the top four seeds in the singles and doubles draws for boys and girls advanced to the semifinals, including in the girls doubles where the top-seeded tandem of Gillian Hsieh-Ratliff and Made-
The district meet netted ATC a few qualifiers for next week’s Class AA State Championships in Albuquerque. Hutchison finished second in the 100 meters, giving her a spot in that event since the top two individual finishers and the winning relay teams at districts advance to state. Joining her will be eighth-grader Fiona Lamb in the 3,200 (second) and freshman Maya Griswold in the 100 hurdles (second). Junior Jordan Grow is the lone boys representative, but he will throw in three events — the javelin, discus and shot put. Grow is among the group that competed in track as an underclassman when Steve Rogers guided the program. The year off was disappointing, but Grow rebounded quickly and in his first meet of the season, setting school records in a couple of events. The opportunity to compete for ATC again — and at state — is not lost on Grow. “In one year, we’ve had I think over

line Margevicius from Los Alamos cruised a semifinal meeting against teammates Laura Whicker and Hannah Cunningham, having only dropped one game total in their first two matches. Boys singles was the only draw where an upset could be found. Española’s Josh Martinez knocked off No. 3 Chase Rochester of Los Alamos in straight sets 6-4, 6-3. Santa Fe High’s No. 4-seeded Sonam Phuntsog retired early in the second set
of his quarterfinal against Los Alamos’ George Margevicius because of pain in his right hand that “hurt every time I gripped the racket.” Day 2 of the district tournament kicks off at 8:30 a.m., beginning with the semifinals of boys and girls singles. The team district champions will also be crowned later in the day as the Española girls play top-seeded Los Alamos, while the Los Alamos boys face No. 1 Santa Fe High.
