By Nicky Romero

Bloomfield ended the season for the Socorro Lady Warriors softball team as pitcher Leigh Anne Johnson threw a no-hitter in a 10-0 five-inning victory Friday in the first round of the NM State Championship in Las Cruces.
Bloomfield (25-4) went on to win the 3A softball championship beating Raton 7-3 in nine innings.
The 16th seeded Lady Warriors had their only scoring threat in the first inning.
Maureen Trujillo walked and advanced on Vanessa Jojola's sacrifice bunt. Trujillo advanced to third on a passed ball, but was left stranded by a strikeout and a groundout.
Bloomfield went on to score two runs in the first inning on three Socorro errors. Socorro held them to no runs in the second and third innings. The Bobcats then erupted for five runs in the fourth on five hits and one error. They finished the game by scoring three more runs in the fifth, scoring the last run with bases loaded and a passed ball for the 10-run rule win.
Pitcher Maureen Trujillo allowed ten hits, one walk, and two strikeouts. Trujillo made the North-South All-Star game which will be played in Cobre in July.
The Lady Warriors ended their season with a 10-14 record.
