It has allowed nine runs or more three times.Los Alamos (4-9) got off to a slow start this season, dropping four of its first five. But Los Alamos has won twice in its last three outings.The Hilltopper softball team split four games at its Green and Gold Invitational 10 days ago, the last time it hit the field.Los Alamos (5-8) likes its chances to grab one of the top two district spots this season and grab a postseason berth.Española Valley might be the team to beat for the top spot.
