  • Baseball: LA tops Raton in extra...

    For being a relatively low-scoring game, there was a lot happening around home plate Friday night.

    In the top of the ninth, Los Alamos scored two runs to outlast Raton 5-3 in the first round at state. Los Alamos moves on in the top half of the bracket to play Carlsbad at 10 a.m. today.

  • Baseball: Bell rings a shot to...

    Right before his last swing, Addison Bell stepped out of the batter’s box to collect his thoughts.

    “I was just trying to focus on my swing,” Bell said. “My back foot, my follow-through.”

    That extra time and that extra focus worked.

    Bell, the third hitter in the order for Albuquerque Roadrunner’s All-Stars in their game with Albuquerque Zia Saturday, hit his final pitch into deep left-center for a home run, giving him the 2008 Juniors Little League All-Stars Home Run Derby title.
