Miyamura Baseball Goes to Stateby Lucia Kezele '18 With just three seniors on their team this year, the Miyamura baseball team started their season off with a losing record of 1-5. The boys turned their mindsets around and came back to finish off the season as second in the district. The boys lost to Aztec for the district championship, but due to their ranking, 6th at the time, they were able to secure a spot in the state tournament. Miyamura played three games against Farmington to begin the tournament and won two out of three of those games. On May 11th they went up against the number one team in the state, Alamagordo, for a spot in semi-finals. Led by Coach Brian Silva the boys were able to knock out the top ranked team 2-1. The boys advanced to the semi-finals round of the state tournament where they played Albuquerque Academy. Sadly, the Patriots were knocked out by Academy, losing the game 7-3. The boys had an amazing season being the first baseball team, in four years, to make it past the first round of state. MAY POLLS
