Lopez opened its 2015 baseball season by hosting conference rival Lummi Nation Blackhawks on April 1.

The Lobos played well and the game was close. Things were tied at 4, all in the third inning, but ended in an 8-6 loss.

Hits and runs were distributed across the co-ed squad. Owen Akopiantz, Mikayla Johnson, Conor Dye, Anchor Brant, Vinny Kramer and Anah-Kate Drahn all scored.  Johnson, Dye, Kramer, and Drahn had hits with Dye doubling twice. Austin Reinmuth, Dye, and Kramer shared pitching responsibilities, accounting for 12 of Lummi’s 21 outs with strikeouts.

Lopez has two remaining home games, on April 29 versus Darrington and May 1 versus Shoreline.
