As the final week of the regular season began Tuesday, all six Valencia County baseball and softball teams were victorious. Post season brackets will be revealed Sunday by the New Mexico Activities Association.
Softball
Los Lunas (18-6, 7-1), pictured in white, clinched the top seed in District 5-5A with an 8-3 win over nemesis Albuquerque High (14-9, 4-3.)
In District 5-4A, BHS (13-12, 5-2) defeated Grants (14-10, 3-5) 18-6, while Valencia (9-13, 5-3) scored 20 first inning runs to hammer Highland 35-2 (2-22, 0-7).
Baseball
Los Lunas (15-9, 7-1) won 15-2 over Albuquerque High (5-19, 1-6), clinching at least a tie atop District 5-5A. However, Rio Grande holds the tiebreaker because of run-differential.
Belen (17-8, 4-3) surprised defending 4A champion Grants (15-7, 5-3) on the road by a score of 8-6. Valencia (10-14, 2-5) handled Highland (5-16-1, 0-7) 14-4.
