Rebel softball slides past Lobos in 8-7 comeback win

Six late runs scored over two innings catapulted the Hays Rebels  softball team in a wild come-from-behind 8-7 district win over the rival Lehman Lobos Friday at Hays High.

Rebel head coach Lisa Cone said patience, primarily when facing an early five-run deficit, paid off for the Rebels, who hold sole possession of second place in 25-6A as the midpoint of the district season nears.

“I wasn’t worried. We kept telling them that they’re going to hit the ball and we knew they we’re going to have a big inning, but you have to fight,” Cone said. “The girls never got down and they were always loud and cheering.”
