A late rally by the Rehoboth Christian baseball team was not enough to overcome a four-run deficit in the New Mexico Class 2A state championship game.

Rehoboth will play in today’s state title game for the first time as the emerging program shutout top-seed Santa Rosa by a 7-0 count on Friday at the Jennifer Riordan Spark Kindness Sports Complex in Albuquerque.

On Thursday, the fourth-seeded Lynx defeated No. 5 McCurdy Bobcats by a 14-5 count at the Jennifer Riordan Spark Kindness Sports Complex in Albuquerque.

The Page softball team ended a two-game losing skid on Tuesday afternoon.

Class 4A top seed Grants and Class 4A No. 3 seed Gallup will lead area teams into this weekend’s opening round of the New Mexico State Baseball and New Mexico State Softball Championships.
