Roswell Coyotes Hopeful Despite Pitching Woes and Tough Draw
Roswell faces a playoff path built on depth rather than top pitching as it relies on power hitters to supply runs. They have won four of seven and hold a 2-3 mark against Lovington and Albuquerque High, with a favorable bracket avoiding Highland, Lovington, and Las Cruces until finals. A possible opener loss would end the season, while a win could pit them against Sandia led by Moe Barreras, whom Roswell already defeated earlier.
