NM State Tournament — Silver- Tournament Finalist

Jun 9, 2026

NEW MEXICO STATE CHAMPIONS 🥈

The books may say silver, but anyone who watched this team compete knows exactly who the winners were.

The Tigers closed out their State Tournament run the same way they’ve played all season—fighting for every pitch, every out, and every inch of dirt. In their final game, they took down the New Mexico Spartans 15-11, proving once again what this team is made of.

This weekend tested our boys in more ways than one. Through every challenge, they stayed together, stayed hungry, and never stopped competing. That’s character. That’s resilience. That’s Tiger Baseball.

No one can take away the effort, heart, and determination these boys showed all weekend long.

The record books may say silver….

But these Tigers walked off that field winners.

Thank you to every player, coach, family member, and supporter who was part of this journey. What this team built together was bigger than baseball.

ABQ Rawlings Tigers Take Silver at the Spring Invitational
Our boys showed true grit, heart, and unwavering determination all tournament long, battling their way to a Silver finish in the Championship Bracket at the Spring Invitational. Every game was a fight, and they never backed down—playing hard, competing with everything they had, and leaving it all on the field.
The biggest growth this weekend wasn’t just in the score—it was in the moments where they leaned into each other, picked each other up, and kept pushing forward together. That’s where real teams are built.
We’re proud of how they competed and even more excited about where this group is headed. When the focus stays on the game, the work, and each other, this team shows just how strong they can be.
This is just the beginning. They’re building something special—and they’re not done yet.
Way to go, Tigers!
