When the weekend started, the Cisco College Wranglers were on the outside looking in at the Region V Baseball Championships. Then, on Saturday, the Wranglers completed a sweep of the North Central Texas College Lions and found themselves in a threeway tie for fourth in the Northern Texas Junior College Athletic Conference standings.
