In eight games, the Dusters were victorious in only two, but Coach Rodney McNeill saw promising potential against nationally-ranked squads.
In a 11-5 victory over 8th-ranked Dodge City, errors were eliminated. “We played better defense,” McNeill said.
Amber House of Fort Worth was on the hill in both wins. The second was a 6-2 triumph over Arapaho Community College.
WTC’s first two games were against Otero Community College, ranked 16th in the nation. The Dusters bowed 4-2 in the opener and then fell 13-5 in the nightcap while committing 13 errors.
Miscue continued to plague the Dusters against defending national champs Central Arizona. The national champs pounded the Dusters 9-1 with the Dusters committing nine errors.
No. 3 ranked Pima Junior College blanked the Dusters 14-0 in a tilt that saw WTC make five errors and allow six free passes.
In the final game of the El Paso tournament, WTC lost a third encounter with Otero, 6-1.
