Anissa Martinez was 3-years-old the last time the Lubbock High softball team advanced out of the bi-district round of the playoffs.
After the senior Lady Westerner helped pick off three baserunners and went 3 for 3 at the plate Saturday against Amarillo, the catcher was proud to lay to rest 15 years of struggles on the diamond.
Lubbock High defeated Amarillo 3-1 Saturday at Lady Westerner Field, earning a two-game sweep of their Region I-4Abi-district opponents and catapulting the Lady Westerners into the area round for the first time since 1997.
