Lobos Finish Season With 3-2 Win Over Andrews
Monahans Lobos end 1968 season 14-14 after a 3-2 victory over the Andrews Mustangs.

Key moments include a second-inning rally with Dixon and Hammitt scoring on a squeeze bunt by Emmanuel, and a late defensive gem from Murphy in right field turning a potential clutch hit into a game-ending double play.
