The baseball team cruised to victory in stunning fashion with a 17-6 victory over the visiting Mesa Community College Thunderbirds. Jake Wrubleski, Ameer McGee and Brien Kenny all homered in the win. A huge 8th inning with the Yotes scoring 7 runs in the frame saw the game come to an early end as the visiting T-Birds were unfortunately run-ruled. The Coyotes are now 29-15 on the year.
Just across the walkway from the baseball diamond was the Coyote softball team battling it out with the cross-town rival Gauchos of Glendale Community College. Despite losing the first game of the doubleheader 15-7, the Yotes woke up and run-ruled the visitors with strong offense and stout defense to win the second game 11-1.
