The T-Birds finished the CSN wood bat tournament with an 11-5 loss to Arizona Western College on Saturday, Jan. 31.

Callan Warren was 2-for-4 with three RBIs, a run scored, and a homer. Cooper Popejoy drove in a run and Peyton Pierce was 2-for-4 with a solo home run in the fifth.
Andrew Hart and Marcos Colon came in relief pitching an inning each and striking out two apiece.
NMJC recorded nine hits in the loss. The T-Birds end their road trip with a 1-3 record.
