Five-run fifth lifts Buena over Chargers

Dos Pueblos’ softball team was cruising along until the floodgates opened for Buena in the fifth. The Bulldogs scored five runs in the frame to hand the visiting Chargers a 7-1 defeat Tuesday.

Hannah Harris tallied a triple, DP’s only extra-base hit, while Buena hit three solo homers in the fifth.

“I think we just need to gel more as a team. Watch out for DP come the second half of the season,” said coach Donn Roberts.
