For the first two game in their best-of-three playoff series, the Cisco Lady Loboes quieted the Stamford Lady Bulldogs’ bats. Unfortunately, the third time was no charm. Stamford reeled off eight runs in the top of the seventh inning Monday evening at Poly Wells Field at Abilene Christian University and then held on to claim a 17-3 victory in their Class Region I-2A quarterfinal showdown. With the win, Stamford moved a step closer to making its third straight appearance in the state tournament by cementing a place opposite Colorado City in the next round.
With the loss, Cisco closes out its 2023 season with a 20-9 record.
The Lady Loboes matched Stamford runfor- run early in the game. After Stamford had eked out a run in the top of the first, Cisco answered back in its half of the frame, scoring a run of its own to tie the score at 1-1.
