The Miners have scored at least 20 runs in 3 different games this year. They scored 20 runs against Tohono O’Odham in the season opener and scored 26 versus Imagine Prep Coolidge in their second game of the year.
After games against Ft. Thomas and San Carlos on April 1 and April 3, respectively, the Miners will travel to Ray to battle the Bearcats on April 4.
