Ruidoso unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They took an 8-3 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Roswell Coyotes on Thursday. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Warriors of the 7-2 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in March of 2016.
Ruidoso got a good showing from Levi Shelton, who pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits.
On the hitting side, Ruidoso saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Trenton Hall, who went 2-for-4 with one RBI. That's the most hits Hall has posted since back in April of 2024.
Roswell's first win this season bumped their record up to 1-2.
Coincidentally, Ruidoso and Roswell will both be playing Lovington the next time they take the field. Ruidoso will host Lovington at 12:00 p.m. on Friday, while Roswell will play them later in the day, at 3:00 p.m.
