Walton got some good defensive play in the second inning as centerfielder Cameron Mascarenas fielded a sharp hit ball and brought it in to Jonathan Decker, whose relay was a strike to catcher Warren Berry cutting the runner down at home to minimize the damage of a four hit inning. Walton also pitched out of a bases loaded jam in the inning. Decker tied it up in the second with a single that scored Luciano Castillo. Raton scored three in the third as Berry had a lead-off triple and senior Santiago Castillo would give Raton their first lead with a bases loaded two run, single. Following a one-two-three fourth inning, Raton would explode and score 7 runs in the fifth sending 11 to the plate with Carter Marquez stroking a two run single as part of the barrage. Marquez is an eighth grader and coach Robby Armijo was forced to play a young lineup with four freshman due to injuries to seniors Azden Romero and Brayden Tapia. Raton had another district home game with Estancia on Monday, April 6.
