The Bulldawgs of Las Cruces High School will face off against the Knights of Organ Mountain High School three times this week. The winner of this series stands to come out on top of the district battle with more than half of the season in the rear view mirror.
Tuesday, April 16 @ 7:00 p.m. The Bulldawgs will get final bats as home team.
In a Friday Night Lights match-up on April 19, the Knights will have home field advantage for both legs of some double header action. The first game starts at 5:00 p.m., while the second is scheduled to start at 7:00 p.m.
These games are anticipated to be some of the best baseball our broader community has seen so far this year as the Knights have been downright stingy on defense, allowing only 3 runs in district play thus far. The Bulldawgs, on the other hand are lighting up the scoreboard with a district leading 60 runs.
All games will be played at the Field of Dreams Baseball Complex and tickets can be purchased online at gofan.co.
