There's no place like home for La Joya Community, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Thursday. They walked away with a 9-4 victory over the Independence Patriots on Monday. For the Fighting Lobos, this counts as revenge for the 2-0 win the Patriots walked away with the last time they faced one another back in April of 2015.
Andrea Leon spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned runs on nine hits.
