  • LA tops KC with late rally

    The Los Alamos Hilltopper softball team rallied from a 4-3 deficit in its final at-bat to win a key Class 4A contest Tuesday afternoon.

    Kiana Zerr, who hit a lead-off double in the Hilltoppers’ final at-bat, and Micaela Christensen came around to score to give Los Alamos a 5-4, come-from-behind win over the Kirtland Central Broncos at Overlook Park.

    Kirtland Central appeared to have the Hilltoppers on the ropes with a rally in the top of the sixth to take a 4-3 edge, but Los Alamos took advantage of two key errors in the bottom of the seventh to push the game-winning runs across.

    See Wednesday’s Los Alamos Monitor for more on the game.

    Albuquerque wins seventh straight

     

    The red-hot Albuquerque Isotopes posted their seventh consecutive victory Monday, scoring two runs in the seventh to top the Oklahoma City RedHawks 3-2.

    Center fielder Elian Herrera smacked a two-run home run in the top of the seventh to put the Isotopes up and ultimately give them the win on the road.

    Will Savage threw six innings and gave up just two earned runs, raising his record to a spotless 4-0 (2.41 ERA). Scott Rice earned the save (4).

  • LA girls take third at Santa Fe...

    The Los Alamos Hilltopper girls golf team placed third at the Santa Fe High School Invitational Monday.
    Los Alamos finished with a score of 425 strokes to take third place at the tournament. Unfortunately, the score wasn’t enough to earn the Hilltoppers a state tournament qualifying leg, meaning the Hilltoppers won’t be represented in the postseason this year.
    Also, just missing out on an individual qualifying leg was Emma Haines. Haines shot a 97, two strokes over the qualifying score. It was the third tournament of the season that Haines missed out on a leg by two shots or less.
    In the boys competition, the Hilltoppers took fifth place, firing a 384.

  • LA earns 8-1 victory over Demons...

    The Los Alamos Hilltopper girls tennis team easily dispatched the Santa Fe Demons during Monday’s dual contest in Los Alamos.

    The Hilltoppers gave up just 10 games in singles play to the Demons. Gillian Hsieh-Ratliff at No. 2 and Colleen Fitzsimmons at No. 3 lost just one game between them Monday.
    The closest-contested match of the day, at No. 3 doubles, saw Emily Funsten/Gwynn Cunningham of Los Alamos escape with a 6-1, 3-6, 7-5 victory. No other match went beyond two sets.

  • Baseball, softball thump the...

    The Los Alamos Hilltopper baseball and softball teams, as expected, were big winners over the Capital Jaguars Saturday.
    Los Alamos swept all four games from the Jaguars in Saturday’s doubleheaders. The softball team won 16-9, 16-0 and the baseball team crushed the Jaguars 27-0, 20-0.
    For the Hilltopper baseball team, the win in game one officially wrapped up the District 2-4A title, their fourth straight district crown. Following the team’s extra-innings win Wednesday at Española Valley, it needed just one win in any of the three remaining game with Capital (0-18), which has scored a grand total of 37 runs in 2012.
    The two totals for the Hilltopper baseball team were the most runs it has scored in any contests this season.

  • LA girls are third at Harper...

    The Los Alamos Hilltopper girls track and field team placed third at the two-day Richard A. Harper Memorial Invitational.
    The Harper meet is considered a good indicator of how teams may fare at the state meet, now less than three weeks away.
    If this weekend’s meet was any indication, the Hilltoppers are in good position to vie for their fourth straight team title. However, the Los Lunas Tigers finished solidly in the No. 4 spot in team competition, just four points behind the Hilltoppers.
    In all, 19 teams took part in the Harper Invitational, including eight Class 4A teams.
