HOBBS, NM:  The Texas Wesleyan University softball team (13-28, 6-10 RRAC) split a thrilling Red River Athletic Conference doubleheader at College of the Southwest on Saturday.  The Lady Rams came back to tie game one at three in the seventh only to fall 4-3, and then rebounded to take game two by a score of 4-3.

In the fifth, Angel Castro doubled and advanced to third on a passed ball.  Tara Sharp then drove in Castro with a sacrifice fly.
