The Gallup Bengals won one and lost another during a double-header baseball game March 25 at Ford Canyon Park. The Bengals dropped the first game 12-0 to Bernalillo, but got back on track and won the second game 4-3.
The Spartans scored seven runs in the seventh inning and the Bengals never recovered in the first game. The Bengals (2-9) went into the second game behind 3-0 in the third inning, but scored a decisive run in the seventh inning.
“I’m happy with the way we played today,” Spartans’ head coach Brandon Gilliard said of the win.
The Spartans are 10-7 on the 2017 baseball season.
