On Wednesday, in the opener of its Region I-2A semifinal series against Anson, the Colorado City softball team watched the Lady Tigers mount a late comeback to hand them a tough 10-9 loss.

On Saturday, it was the Lady Wolves’ turn to rally.

Facing elimination in Game 2, C-City built an early 7-0 lead and held off Anson from there for a series-extending 13-7 victory, before rallying from a 4-0 deficit for a 7-5 win in the deciding third to outlast the Lady Tigers in a thrilling and hard-fought series.

The victory pushed the Lady Wolves into the fifth round of the Class 2A playoffs, where they’ll take on area power Stamford for the Region I title next week.
