Cavemen Baseball Bounces Roswell 6-0

By Don Eskins

The Carlsbad Cavemen are on a mission. They want to capture the 2025 District 4/5A championship! And from all indications, they’re well on their way to doing just that.

On Tuesday, April 22, CHS rolled over the Roswell Coyotes 6-0. The victory upped their conference record to 3-0. Roswell fell to 1-2 in league play alongside both Clovis and Hobbs.

CHS will be in the Alien City on Friday, April 25, for their second conference meeting with the Coyotes. Game time for the event is set for 5 p.m.

A victory there would leave only the Hobbs Eagles standing in the Cavemen’s way of grabbing this year’s district title. CHS will take on the Birds in Hobbs on Tuesday, April 29, and in Carlsbad on Friday, May 2.

With their win over the Coyotes, Carlsbad is now 18-5 on the year. MaxPreps has them ranked fifth in Class 5A play.
